§ 5. Mr. KINGasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he remains in daily telegraphic communication with the British Minister at Jassy; whether dispatches by messenger continue to come through; whether the Allies are kept aware of the peace negotiations between Roumania and the enemy Powers; and whether the Allies are in any way parties to, or cognisant of, the terms which Roumania is likely to accept or has already accepted?
§ Lord R. CECILThe answers to the first and third parts of the question are in the affirmative; that to the second in the negative. As regards the last part of the question, beyond what has appeared in the Press, the answer is in the negative.
§ Mr. KINGCan the Noble Lord hold out the expectation that on Monday he will be able to make a statement with regard to the policy of the Allies in view of the impending peace negotiations?
§ Lord R. CECILCertainly I should not make such a statement, though my right hon. Friend might conceivably do so.
