HC Deb 01 November 1920 vol 134 cc29-30
45. Major M. WOOD

asked the Prime Minister whether he will publish the documents found in the possession of the present Sinn Fein leaders in 1918, which show that they were prepared to join with Germany in an attack upon us?

45. The PRIME MINISTER

The matter is under consideration, and I hope to be in ii position to announce the decision shortly.

Lieut. - Commander KENWORTHY

Has the attention of the right hon. Gentleman been drawn to Colonel Repington's statement that General Mahone—

Mr. SPEAKER

The hon. and gallant Member should give notice of that question.

Major WOOD

Can the right hon. Gentleman say when he will be able to give a decision on this matter, and is he aware that many people are under the impression that the reason for not publishing these documents is that they do not exist?

The PRIME MINISTER

That is what I should expect.
