HC Deb 31 October 1916 vol 86 cc1492-3
7. Mr. GINNELL

asked the Under-Secretary for Foreign Affairs whether any neutral Government has yet intimated a desire that, in proof of the good faith of the Allies, a joint declaration should now be made by them of their concurrence with the claim of small nations to representation equally with themselves in the International Peace Conference to follow the War; in either case, whether such a declaration will be made; and whether the small nations will be named in it?

Lord R. CECIL

The answer to the first part of the question is in the negative. As to the rest, I can express no opinion.

Mr. GINNELL

Do all the Allies concur in this?
