§ 51. Lieutenant-Colonel Sir SAMUEL HOAREasked the Prime Minister in what form the Debate on the Peace terms will take place and at what period in the settlement of the terms?
§ Mr. BONAR LAWI am afraid that it is not possible yet to make any definite statement on the subject. The information asked for in the question will be communicated to the House at the earliest possible moment.
§ Sir S. HOARECan the right hon. Gentleman give any indication as to when he is likely to be able to make a statement on the subject?
§ Mr. BONAR LAWI am afraid not. It must obviously depend upon circumstances which cannot be foreseen at the moment.
§ Lieutenant-Colonel A. MURRAYWill the draft treaty be issued in the form of a White Paper for the convenience of Members?
§ Mr. BONAR LAWThe question does not arise out of the answer, but the House will understand that it is obviously desirable that the same action should be taken by all the Great Powers in this matter? I have already been in communication with the Prime Minister on the subject, and he is discussing it with the heads of the other Governments to-day.
