HC Deb 26 October 1916 vol 86 cc1289-90
45. Mr. GINNELL

asked the Prime Minister if he is in a position to state for the information of the small nations whose cause the Allies unanimously champion what representation the Allies consider that each of the small nations, especially Poland and Ireland, ought to have at the International Peace Conference to follow the War; what steps have been taken to ascertain whether the small nations in question concur in that view; and whether the Allies agree that the adult inhabitants in each case should be left free to appoint genuine representatives?

The PRIME MINISTER

I have nothing to add to what I have already said in public in regard to peace terms.

Mr. GINNELL

Does that mean that the pretence of fighting for small nationalities is all humbug?
