HC Deb 17 March 1920 vol 126 cc2217-8W
Mr. GRIFFITHS

asked the Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether the Bulgarian Government has asked that a plébiscite should be taken in Western Thrace under the League of Nations; whether His Majesty's Government is aware that, in the present state of Græco-Bulgarian relations, the possession of Western Thrace by Greece would render a commercial outlet for Bulgaria through that territory of no value; and whether His Majesty's Government has abandoned the policy arrived at in consultation with President Wilson, and announced in the Press, whereby Western Thrace was to remain under international control?

Sir H. GREENWOOD

The answer to the first part of the question is in the negative. As regards the remainder of the question, until a general settlement of the terms to be imposed on Turkey has been agreed upon, I cannot make any announcement in regard to particular points arising in connection therewith.
