HC Deb 12 February 1917 vol 90 cc273-4
63. Major NEWMAN

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether the gratitude and thanks of the nation for the work done on behalf of British civilians and prisoners of war will be conveyed by the Government to the late Ambassador of the United States at the Court of Berlin at the earliest moment and in the fullest manner?

The SECRETARY of STATE for FOREIGN AFFAIRS (Mr. Balfour)

Action in the sense suggested has already been taken. I propose to have the text of my Note to the United States Ambassador circulated in the OFFICIAL REPORT.
