HC Deb 25 October 1920 vol 133 cc1325-6
44. Major MACKENZIE WOOD

asked the Prime Minister whether he will now publish the documents found in the possession of the present leaders of Sinn Fein in 1918, which showed that there was an arrangement between these leaders and the Germans to attack us in 1918?

The PRIME MINISTER

The Government consider that it is desirable that these documents should be published, provided that it can be done without giving away the source of the Government's information. The matter is now under consideration.

Lieut. - Commander KENWORTHY

Does the Prime Minister still say that there was a plot in 1918 to give Germany help in Ireland?

The PRIME MINISTER

Certainly.

Lieut. - Commander KENWORTHY

Has the right hon. Gentleman's attention been drawn to the evidence of the facts by Colonel Repington in his Memoirs in this matter?
