§ Sir F. WISEasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if all the Treasury notes current in Turkey were issued by the Council of the Ottoman Debt; and will the Council continue to issue them?
Mr. GRAHAMMy information is that the Treasury notes current in Turkey were issued by the Turkish Ministry of Finance, but were countersigned by the Ottoman Debt Council from which the delegates of Allied nationality were absent. As regards the second part of the question Turkey, so far as I am aware, has not issued any Treasury notes since 1918.
