HC Deb 22 March 1920 vol 127 c25
30. Sir S. HOARE

asked when it is proposed to introduce and pass the Bill for the ratification of the Austrian Treaty?

33. Mr. ORMSBY-GORE

asked when the exchange of ratifications of the Peace Treaty with Austria by the Austrian, British, French, and Italian Governments, respectively, may be expected?

The PRIME MINISTER

The Treaty has already been ratifed by the Austrian Government and by Italian Royal Decree. The French Government have not yet ratified, and I have no information to show when they will do so. I fear that it will hardly be possible to deal with this matter before Easter.

Mr. ORMSBY-GORE

Are we to understand that the British Government has ratified?

The PRIME MINISTER

We have promised a discussion in the House of Commons.

Lieut. - Commander KENWORTHY

Shall we have an opportunity of seeing it?
