HC Deb 14 March 1916 vol 80 cc1855-6
2. Mr. GINNELL

asked what are the special terms subject to which the Italian Government gave its adhesion to the agreement among the Allied Governments not to make separate peace?

Sir E. GREY

I thought it had already been made clear that questions of this sort could not be answered. His Majesty's Government are not in a position, nor would it be in the public interest, to make statements as to communications that may have passed between any of the Allies on such subjects.

Mr. GINNELL

Can the right hon. Gentleman inform the House whether such special terms as Italy required relating to the liberty of the Pope have been communicated to the Vatican through the British representative there?
