HC Deb 21 December 1915 vol 77 c189
45. Mr. GINNELL

asked the Prime Minister whether Ireland and Belgium are two of the small nationalities for whose independence he stated in his speech in Dublin that the War was being waged; and, if so, whether the Government will reconsider favourably the suggestion whereby those two countries may now recover their independence without further war so far as they are concerned?

The PRIME MINISTER

I am afraid that I can add nothing to the answer which I gave to the hon. Member on Thursday.

Mr. GINNELL

Were all the promises to small nationalities an elaborate hoax?
