§ 50. Colonel Lord HENRY CAVENDISH-BENTINCKasked the Prime Minister whether, in view of the urgency of securing an exchange of the British and Indian prisoners in Turkish hands, if a further high death-rate next winter is to be avoided, the Government will consider without delay what proposals it will make to the Turkish Government, so that these proposals may be put forward directly the Hague Convention is signed?
§ Mr. BONAR LAWAs I should have informed the House in answer to a question which has not been put, an agreement has been reached by the delegates at The Hague. Of course, it is subject to ratification by the two Governments. As soon as the delegates return this other question will be taken up promptly.
