§ Captain W. BENNasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he has any information from the British representative in Transjordania as to the intention of Ibn Saud in regard to the Syrian revolt; and whether Ibn Saud has made any representations to His Majesty's Government to the recent revision of the boundaries of Transjordania?
§ Mr. AMERYThe answer to the first part of the question is in the negative; the answer to the second part is also in the negative if, as I assume, the hon. and gallant Member refers to the estab- 1385W lishment of the effective control of the Transjordan Administration in the districts of Maan and Akaba, of which I informed the House in my reply to the question put by the hon. and gallant Member on the 6th July. I am glad to be able to inform the House that an agreement as to the boundary between Trans-Jordan and Nejd has just been concluded with Ibn Saud, of which I am awaiting full details by despatch.
