HC Deb 24 July 1918 vol 108 c1783
11. Sir J. D. REES

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether the Government has any official information regarding the fate of the ex-Emperor of Russia?

Mr. BALFOUR

No, Sir; not beyond that which has appeared in the Press. We have received no authentic reports, but I am afraid all the rumours I have received confirm the unhappy news.
