§ 1. Mr. LYNCHasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether means exist whereby ex-King Constantine may hold correspondence with his relatives in this country; and whether facilities are given by the Government for these communications?
§ The MINISTER of BLOCKADE (Lord Robert Cecil)King Constantine's correspondence is subject to the ordinary disabilities affecting correspondence from neutral countries, and no special facilities are given in his favour.
§ Mr. PEMBERTON BILLINGDoes this apply to packages sent from this country to ex-King Constantine?
§ Lord R. CECILIt depends on the nature of the package.
§ Mr. LYNCHIs the Noble Lord aware of the fact that a parcel of khaki uniforms was recently sent from this country to ex-King Constantine?
§ Lord R. CECILI am not aware of that.
§ Mr. BILLINGIs it a question of principle to allow packages to go from this country to ex-King Constantine, who is admittedly an enemy of this country and a spy?
§ Lord R. CECILI do not think that it is a question of principle. I do not quite understand the hon. Member's question.
§ Mr. BILLINGIs ex-King Constantine regarded as an enemy or a friend to this country?
§ Lord R. CECILI should like notice of that question.
