§ Lieut. - Commander KENWORTHYasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies what is the present position with regard to the Anglo-Iraq Treaty; whether it has been ratified by the Assembly and by His Majesty the King of Iraq; and whether and when it is proposed to bring it before Parliament for ratification?
Mr. THOMASThe Treaty has been accepted by the Assembly, but has not yet been ratified by either of the contracting parties. King Feisal has intimated his readiness to ratify as soon as this country is in a position to do so. With regard to the last part of the question, I have nothing to add to the reply given to the hon. and gallant Member for Kennington (Lieut.-Colonel T. Williams) on the 2nd June.
