HC Deb 10 August 1914 vol 65 c2240
2. Mr. KING

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether this country is at war with Austria-Hungary; and whether Austrians or Hungarians in the Dominions of the British Crown are now alien enemies?

The UNDER-SECRETARY of STATE for FOREIGN AFFAIRS (Mr. Acland)

No declaration of war or act of hostility has, so far as I am aware, yet taken place on either side.
