HC Deb 26 July 1916 vol 84 cc1657-8
12. Mr. GINNELL

asked the Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if he will state the text of any objection raised by His Majesty's Government to the proposed visit of certain American citizens of repute to Ireland this season for a philanthropic purpose; to whom communicated; the nature of any correspondence to which it has led; whether the objection is persisted in; and what result favourable to this country is expected from this treatment of citizens of a neutral State?

Lord R. CECIL

No objection has been raised, as suggested in the first part of the question; the other questions do not, therefore, arise.
