HC Deb 08 February 1915 vol 69 cc216-7
6. Mr. KELLAWAY

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether any communications passed between His Majesty's Government and the Italian Government in regard to Sir Henry Howard's Mission to the Vatican; and, if so, will he state the nature of such communication?

Mr. PRIMROSE

The Italian Government were informed of the intention to send the Mission and of the nature of the instructions to Sir H. Howard. This Mission, like previous Missions from this country and other Missions now at the Vatican, is in no way contrary to the Law of the Guarantees and no objection has been taken to it.

Mr. KELLAWAY

Did the Italian Government make any communication to this Government of its views on the subject?

Mr. PRIMROSE

I must ask for notice of that question.
