HC Deb 13 July 1916 vol 84 c555W
Sir E. CORNWALL

asked the Secretary of State for War if he will state who is now in command of the Mesopotamia forces; and what general information with regard to that campaign he can give to the House?

Mr. FORSTER

The force in Mesopotamia is under the command of Lieutenant-General Sir Percy Lake. As regards the second part of the question, I understand the right hon. and learned Gentleman, the Member for Trinity College, is going to put a question to my right hon. Friend the Prime Minister next week. Perhaps my hon. Friend will await what may then be said.
