HC Deb 19 June 1924 vol 174 cc2358-9W
Mr. A. T. DAVIES

asked the Prime Minister whether the Constituent Assembly at Bagdad has so far declined to accept the Treaty drafted with King Feisal by British representatives in the form agreed upon by both sides; whether it is proposed by the Government to apply to the League of Nations for fresh powers; and what is the position of the A mandate for Mesopotamia originally formulated under the Peace Treaty?

Mr. THOMAS

As I stated yesterday, the Constituent Assembly has accepted the Treaty. With regard to the second and last parts of the question, I would refer the hon. Member to the answer given by my right hon. Friend the Prime Minister to the hon. and gallant Member for Stafford (Mr. Ormsby-Gore) on the 2nd June.
