asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs what is the present position with regard to the Iraq boundary; and when it is expected that this question will be settled?

Mr. CHAMBERLAIN:

The position has not altered since I replied to the somewhat similar question by the hon. and gallant Gentleman on the 27th May, but I anticipate that the question will be ready for settlement and will be settled at the September meeting of the Council of the League of Nations.

Can the right hon. Gentleman say when the Commission's final Report will be in hand?

Mr. CHAMBERLAIN:

That I cannot say. I do not know, and I do not think it proper to press for a Report before the Commission is ready to present it, but it is anticipated by the Council that it will be presented in time for their consideration and for them to take a decision at the September meeting.

I was only asking for information. I was not making any hostile suggestion.

Secretary of State

Secretary of State was originally the title given to the two officials who conducted the Royal Correspondence under Elizabeth I. Now it is the title held by some of the more important Government Ministers, for example the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs.
