HC Deb 18 May 1916 vol 82 cc1620-1
1. Mr. GINNELL

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether, with a view to the next Hague Conference, he will submit to neutral Governments, especially that of the United States, the conduct of Irish volunteer nurses in rendering assistance to the wounded of both sides without distinction and that of the English Red Cross nurses in refusing assistance to any wounded but those of their own side, and ascertain from each neutral Government to which of those two practices it would be disposed to give its adhesion?

The SECRETARY of STATE for FOREIGN AFFAIRS (Sir Edward Grey)

The statements in this question are, I believe, so far removed from the fact that I do not propose to answer it.
