HC Deb 11 August 1920 vol 133 c411W
Sir J. D. REES

asked the Secretary of State for War whether the Arabs who have opposed our occupation of Mesopotamia belong chiefly or exclusively to nomad tribes; whether any of the riparian fellaheen are included; and, if so, to what extent?

Mr. CHURCHILL

Inquiry on this and other points connected with the outbreak is at present being made, and details have not yet been received. Questions on this subject should be addressed to the India Office.
