§ 45. Mr. KINGasked the Prime Minister whether he gave an interview on the 15th March to Dr. Trumbitch; whether the interview had reference to the reconciliation of Italian and Yugo-Slav aspirations on the Adriatic coast; and whether he can state that any results have been achieved?
§ The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER (Mr. Bonar Law)The Prime Minister does not think that it is desirable that he should give information with regard to the persons to whom he grants personal interviews or to the subjects discussed.
§ Mr. KINGAs this information was obtained from the "Times," will any notice be taken of the way in which the "Times" newspaper disregards the wishes of the Prime Minister?
§ Mr. BONAR LAWI am afraid there is no law, or even a Defence of the Realm Regulation, which will put it in our power to punish anyone who disregards the wishes of the Prime Minister.
