HC Deb 30 March 1922 vol 152 cc1558-9W
Lieut. - Commander KENWORTHY

asked the Prime Minister whether, in view of the importance of the subject and the state of our trade and finance, he will propose giving two days to the Debate on the Government's policy to be pursued at Genoa and for the vote of confidence in the Government?

Mr. CHAMBERLAIN

No, Sir. In view of the business before Easter, I cannot allot more than one day for this discussion.

Lieut. - Commander KENWORTHY

asked the Prime Minister whether he can now say when a statement will be made to the House on the most recent settlement in the Near East and an opportunity given for discussion; and whether the Turks have accepted the proposed armistice?

Mr. CHAMBERLAIN

An opportunity for discussion will arise on the Foreign Office Estimates. I cannot at present add anything of substance to the statement issued for publication by the Allied Ministers in Paris which I have promised to give as an Unopposed Return, if moved for by the right hon. Gentleman the Member for Peebles. As regards the last part of the question, no reply has yet been received from the Turks.
