HC Deb 17 October 1918 vol 110 c284
65. Mr. KING

asked the Prime Minister whether, in view of the possibility of Great Britain being party to a Peace Conference at an early date, it is intended to make a fresh attempt to grant autonomy to Ireland; and whether he now proposes to release all Irish political prisoners against whom no charge has been made, and to consult the leaders of all parties, including Sinn Fein, so as to reach an agreed settlement?

Mr. BONAR LAW

I can make no statement in regard to the first part of the question, and the answer to the second part is in the negative.
