Greece and Turkey. (13 Jun 1921)

Mr Cecil Harmsworth: I am not quite clear why the hon. and gallant Member (Lieut.-Commander Kenworthy) has raised this question this evening. It is, as the House is aware, an exceedingly delicate question. I do not want, in replying on Foreign Office questions, to insist top often that the occasion is not the most appropriate one for discussing a question of policy, but undoubtedly the situation as between the...

Greece and Turkey. (13 Jun 1921)

Mr Cecil Harmsworth: Yes, but the situation has not always been what it is at present. Such a diversity of opinion has been expressed among the three hon.

Greece and Turkey. (13 Jun 1921)

Mr Cecil Harmsworth: My hon. and gallant Friend knows enough about the Foreign Office to be able to assure himself that this subject has engaged the most earnest, and anxious attention of the Department which I have the honour to represent, and of the Government as a whole, for a long time past.

Greece and Turkey. (13 Jun 1921)

Mr Cecil Harmsworth: I thought so. That makes it all the more surprising to me that my hon. and gallant Friend has raised this question this evening, and that he should suggest, after the statement of the Lord Privy Seal, that there has been any kind of covert support to one side or the other.

Greece and Turkey. (13 Jun 1921)

Mr Cecil Harmsworth: According to my recollection, the answer given by my right hon. Friend—which I followed, as in duty bound, with the very greatest care—was a most definite statement that His Majesty's Government had observed neutrality throughout these proceedings, which excludes the possibility of the sort of covert assistance to which my hon. and gallant Friend refers; and, moreover, that the Government...

Oral Answers to Questions — Peace Treaties.: Persia (British Concessions). ( 9 Jun 1921)

Mr Cecil Harmsworth: The late Persian Government informed His Majesty's Minister at Teheran on 3rd May that the Persian Transport Company's road concession had been cancelled, owing to the company's failure to comply with its terms and to the expiration of the agreement.
