HC Deb 24 November 1925 vol 188 cc1191-2W
Lieut.-Colonel MASON

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if he will state, in view of the present disturbances in the Lebanon, what provisions are being made for the safety of British residents and their property in Beirut; and whether arrangements have been made for the immediate evacuation of the residents in case of need?

Mr. A. CHAMBERLAIN

According to the latest reports received from the Acting British Consul-General at Beirut, British residents, and their property, in Beirut are not in immediate danger. The question of the arrangements which should be made to deal with any emergency which may arise, has already engaged the attention of His Majesty's Government.
