§ 49. Mr. KINGasked the Prime Minister whether, under any new Defence of the Realm Regulation, it is made, or intended to be made, an offence to advocate, state, or discuss the desirability of peace through negotiations; whether, if this is illegal in the country, it is the intention of the Government to take steps to prevent similiar views being expressed in Parliament; and whether any action against peace by negotiation is being taken in conjunction with similar action by our Allies, France, and the United States?
§ Sir G. CAVEI have been asked by my right hon. Friend to reply to this question. I must refer the hon. Member to the Regulation, which has now been made.
