HC Deb 22 December 1916 vol 88 c1828
Sir W. BYLES

May I be allowed to ask the Leader of the House whether, in view of the Adjournment for a considerable period, he can make any statement to us about the reported Note from the President of the United States in regard to the Peace overtures of the enemy?

Mr. BONAR LAW

I think it must be obvious to my hon. Friend and to the House that this is a question which cannot be dealt with except in communication with our Allies and that it is absolutely impossible to make any statement now.
