HC Deb 10 July 1917 vol 95 c1710
2. Mr. KING

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether, in view of the statement in Lord Hardinge's letter of 21st July, 1916, that Roumania was striving to obtain enormous tracts of territory, he will state whether any undertakings were given to Roumania involving annexations or indemnities to Roumania's benefit when Roumania declared war in August, 1916, on Austria-Hungary?

Lord R. CECIL

I have nothing to add to the reply returned to the hon. Member's question of the 28th ultimo.

Mr. KING

Will the Noble Lord or the Foreign Office be able to make a fuller statement if I raise this matter on the next Vote of Credit?

Lord R. CECIL

I do not know what we shall do if the hon. Member raises anything on a Vote of Credit.

Mr. KING

I desire to give notice that on the next Vote of Credit I shall raise the matter of these statements of Lord Hardinge which seem to commit the Government, but for which the Government repudiate responsibility.

Forward to
