§ 50. Mr. LYNCHasked the Prime Minister whether he can state the occasion on which the word "Empire" was first officially used since the Hanoverian succession, and also when it was first applied to include the Dominions; and whether he will submit to the Governments of the Dominion the question of the advisability of the phrase "My Empire," both in reference to the word "My" and the "Empire"?
§ Mr. BONAR LAWI cannot add anything to the answers which I have already given to similar questions.
§ Mr. LYNCHWill the right hon. Gentleman not refer to the Dominions the question of these Kaiser-like phrases, which is simply flouting in the face of democracies?
§ Mr. BONAR LAWIf the hon. Gentleman will read the documents presented by the Prime Ministers at the Dominions Conference, he will find that they constantly use the objectionable words.
