Sir J. D. REESasked the Secretary of State for War, whether any special responsibility rests upon the British, as distinguished from other Allies, for the relief of Armenian refugees; whether for any particular, and, if so, for what, reason such refugees came under British protection; if no such reason exists, why the camp at Bakouba is still maintained; and how long it will be so maintained at the cost of the British taxpayer?
§ Mr. CHURCHILLI would refer my hon. Friend to the reply on this subject which I gave him on the 3rd December last. The question of the repatriation of these refugees has been receiving careful consideration and Inter-Allied negotiations on the matter are in progress.
