HC Deb 16 September 1914 vol 66 cc924-5
6. Sir WILLIAM BYLES

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he will issue as a Parliamentary Paper a translation of the official documents of the Russian and German Foreign Offices which correspond to our own White Paper on the European crisis?

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

I do not think the duty of the Government goes beyond making a full statement of the whole case as known to them, and making this as widely available as possible. If there is a demand for a translation of the official documents published by other Governments, I think it might be met through the ordinary channels of supply.
