HC Deb 29 November 1920 vol 135 cc903-4
25. Mr. HOGGE

asked the Prime Minister when he will carry out his undertaking to publish all agreements, protocols, etc., relating to the execution of the Treaty of Versailles?

The UNDER-SECRETARY of STATE for FOREIGN AFFAIRS (Mr. Cecil Harmsworth)

Negotiations between His Majesty's Government and the Allied Powers are still proceeding, and will be expedited as much as possible. My hon. Friend may rest assured that I will make a statement on this subject at the earliest possible moment.

Lieut.-Colonel A. MURRAY

Is the hon. Gentleman aware that owing to the Foreign Relations Committee of the French Chamber, the French Chamber is now in possession of much more information than this House is on this subject?

Mr. HARMSWORTH

I am doing my best to expedite these negotiations. I was not aware of the fact mentioned by my hon. and gallant Friend.

Mr. HOGGE

May I put this down on this day week?

Mr. HARMSWORTH

I am afraid it is not very much use. Perhaps my hon. Friend will put it down in a fortnight.

Mr. HOGGE

This day fortnight, Mr. Speaker.
