HC Deb 12 July 1916 vol 84 c342
51. Mr. G. TERRELL

asked the Prime Minister if he is now in a position to make a statement as to the course which the Government propose to take to give effect to the Resolutions passed at the Paris Economic Conference?

The PRIME MINISTER

His Majesty's Government have approved these Resolutions.

Sir E. CARSON

Will these Resolutions be explained by any Minister in this House, and, if so, when? Because there are a great many I cannot understand.

Mr. PRINGLE

They are not intended to be understood.

The PRIME MINISTER

I do not know what "explanation" means precisely, but I promise to make a statement myself with such limited powers as I possess.

Sir E. CARSON

I do not know that I will understand them any better then.

Mr. TERRELL

When will the right hon. Gentleman make his statement!

The PRIME MINISTER

I hope next week.

Mr. PRINGLE

Will it be as ample and definite as his statement on Ireland?
