HC Deb 07 March 1918 vol 103 cc2092-3
5. Mr. KING

asked 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. CECIL

The 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. KING

Can 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. CECIL

Certainly I should not make such a statement, though my right hon. Friend might conceivably do so.
