HC Deb 07 July 1919 vol 117 cc1385-6
49. Lieut.-Commander KENWORTHY

asked the Prime Minister whether, before the Peace Treaty with Austria is signed, the Peace Conference will consider any alteration in the proposed Italo-Austrian frontier, in view of the fact that the terms as at present constituted involve the handing over of 200,000 Teutonic Tyrolese to an alien rule; and whether the principle of self-determination can be applied in this case?

Mr. BONAR LAW

As I have already stated, it is not possible to discuss details of this kind by means of question and answer.
