Sir J. D. REESasked the Prime Minister what has been the result of the consideration of the Mandate for Mesopotamia by the Council of the League of Nations; and whether the acquiescence of this international body in the terms 467W of the draft will leave the British nation, which is to find the necessary funds, equally free to introduce or to abstain from introducing any or all reforms which will add to the British national expenditure?
