§ Mr. RAPERasked the Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs what properties in Turkey, Asia Minor, Syria, Palestine, Mesopotamia, and Thrace, formerly belonging to the Turkish Government, are now under the control of His Majesty's Government; what is the approximate value of such properties; and what departments are entrusted with their administration?
Mr. HARMSWORTHSuch property in Irak and Palestine as is known to have belonged to the Turkish Government is administered by the competent authority. It consists largely of land, and it is quite impossible to state what its value is at present. Syria is under a French mandate. There has been no such transfer of property in Thrace or Asia Minor.
