HC Deb 07 May 1928 vol 217 c50W
Sir R. THOMAS

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether, in view of the fact that the southern section of the proposed trans-Persian railway will approach the Iraq frontier and run parallel with it for a considerable distance, the Iraq Government has proposed, or intends to propose, to the Persian Government to connect the railway in question with the port of Basra?

Mr. AMERY

No, Sir. I am not aware that the Iraq Government have raised the question.
