HC Deb 31 May 1921 vol 142 c856W
Lieut. - Commander KENWORTHY

asked the Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs what progress has been made with negotiations to secure access to and from the Ægean Sea for goods to and from the State of Bulgaria under Article 48 of the Treaty of Neuilly; and if he is aware that wheat from Bulgaria for Great Britain can only be exported from Danubian ports at present with consequent increase of freightage?

Mr. HARMSWORTH

Definite provisions for a Bulgarian outlet to the Ægean were, as foreshadowed in Article 48 of the Treaty of Neuilly, included in a Treaty signed at Sevres on 10th August, 1920, by which Western Thrace was to be transferred by the principal Allied and Associated Powers to Greece. This Treaty has not yet been ratified. I have no information as to the last part of the hon. Member's question.
