HC Deb 10 June 1918 vol 106 cc1857-8
13. Mr. FREDERICK WHYTE

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether, in view of the importance of keeping the House of Commons informed of the policy of the Government in foreign affairs and the obvious difficulty of frank discussion in public, he will consider the advisability of asking for a Private Session of the House on appropriate occasions for the purpose of giving the House what information he can?

Mr. BALFOUR

Yes, Sir; I shall be very glad to consider the suggestion of my hon. Friend in consultation with the Leader of the House.
