§ Lieut. - Commander KENWORTHYasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he can make any further statement about the operations in progress against the Wahabis on or near the Transjordania and Iraq, respectively; and whether our forces are operating against tribesmen acknowledging the sovereignty of the Sultan Ibn Saud?
§ Mr. AMERYThere have been no further Wahabi raids since that of the 19th February, of which details were given in my reply to the hon. and gallant Member for Warwick and Leamington (Captain Eden) on the 27th February last. It is open to question whether the guilty tribesmen still acknowledge the sovereignty of King Ibn Saud.
§ Lieut. - Commander KENWORTHYasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether His Majesty now has a representative at the Court of Ibn Saud; and, if not, whether, in view of recent events and developments, it is proposed to send an accredited representative?
