HC Deb 28 July 1915 vol 73 cc2257-8
7. Mr. WALTER ROCH

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if he will circulate as a Parliamentary Paper the various Notes which have passed between Germany and the United States with reference to the German blockade?

Lord ROBERT CECIL

The Notes in question have not been communicated officially to His Majesty's Government, who are dependent for their knowledge of them upon the versions published in the Press, which are available to everybody, and the Press have given them so much publicity that it seems unnecessary for the Government to reprint them from the Press at the public expense.
