HC Deb 07 November 1918 vol 110 c2267
8. Mr. NOEL BUXTON

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he can give an assurance that no pledge will be given by the Allies in regard to the future territorial distribution in the Balkans previous to the decisions of the Peace Conference?

Lord R. CECIL

In so far as His Majesty's Government are concerned, it will certainly be our endeavour not to prejudice by prior commitments the decisions of the Peace Congress in regard to the Balkans.

Mr. BUXTON

Can the Noble Lord tell the House that no pledge has been given already?

Lord R. CECIL

No; I cannot say as to that.
