Lieut.-Colonel AUBREY HERBERT:

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether the proposed partition of Turkey is in agreement with the 14 points?

Mr. HARMSWORTH:

I am not in a position to answer the question of the hon. and gallant Member either in the affirmative or the negative, since I have no knowledge of the proposed partition to which he appears to refer.

I hope the hon. Gentleman will give us an assurance that the Arabs are not to be allowed to remain under the cruel persecution of the Turks?
