HC Deb 04 July 1916 vol 83 c1341
1. Mr. PONSONBY

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he has had any official information to the effect that the German Chancellor has authorised a statement in the semi-official "North German Gazette" to the effect that he endorses the speech delivered by Herr Scheidemann at Breslau, when the latter opposed all territorial acquisition by Germany; and whether he has any other information confirming this view of the Chancellor's attitude?

The SECRETARY of STATE for FOREIGN AFFAIRS (Sir E. Grey)

I have no other information on the subject except what has appeared in the Press.
