§ 50. Lord R. CECILasked the Prime Minister whether the Government intends to recognise the State of Esthonia; and, if so, when?
§ The PRIME MINISTERNo decision has as yet been taken in regard to the de jure recognition of the Esthonian Government.
§ Lord R. CECILIs it not under the consideration of the Government, in view of the fact that the Esthonians have established a more or less stable form of Government?
§ The PRIME MINISTEROf course, it is not for us to decide; we shall have to decide in conjunction with our Allies. I do not think it has yet been discussed.
Lieut.-Colonel MALONEIs the right hon. Gentleman not aware that Italy has recognised Esthonia de jure?
§ The PRIME MINISTERI am not aware of that.
