§ 9. Mr. LYNCHasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether, in view of the importance and the public interest of the documents which reveal the intrigues of ex-King Constantine and his Queen, he will now reconsider a previous decision and publish them in a Blue Book?
§ The SECRETARY of STATE for FOREIGN AFFAIRS (Mr. Balfour)I cannot feel that the interest of such a publication would justify the labour and expense involved, but a copy of the Great White Book, which contains all the information desired by the hon. Member will be placed in the Library of the House.
§ 11. Mr. LYNCHasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he will state by whose authority Prince Nicholas of Greece was given facilities to undertake a voyage to this country and thence to Germany on a mission dangerous to the best interests of the Allies; and whether any other persons besides Prince Nicholas and Prince George have been given similar facilities; and, if so, whether a statement will be made of the circumstances?
§ Mr. BALFOURPrince Nicholas of Greece came to England on his way back from Russia. His visit was of a private character. He was given no special facilities, nor did he, so far as I am aware, proceed to Germany on leaving this country. The second and third parts of the question do not, therefore, arise.
§ Mr. LYNCHI give notice that I shall raise this question on the Adjournment to-morrow night in view of the protection extended in this House to members of that dynasty.
§ Mr. BALFOURI said there was none.
