79. Mr. DOYLEasked the Prime Minister in view of his reiterated pledges that the ex-Kaiser shall be brought to trial and the strong monarchical agitation in Germany, if the Allied Governments have made any representations to the Dutch Government to prevent his escape to Germany; if the latter Government has given satisfactory assurances on this point; and if the recent legal conference in Paris made final arrangements as to the trial and when it shall take place?
§ The PRIME MINISTERWith regard to the first and the second parts of the question there is nothing to be added to the answers already given. With regard to the third part, the recent conference in Paris was not concerned with the trial of the ex-Emperor.
Lieut.-Colonel A. MURRAYMay I ask the right hon. Gentleman whether his information does not point to the fact that public opinion in. all the Allied countries is favourable to leaving the ex-Kaiser where he is? [HON. MEMBERS: No!]
