48. Sir F. HALLasked the Prime Minister if it is the intention of the Government that the Irish question should be placed before the forthcoming Imperial Conference with the Dominion representatives for discussion; and, if so, will he arrange that the Dominion representatives shall be fully informed of the facts regarding the assistance given to Germany by Sinn Fein throughout the War, and the long record of murders and outrages that preceded the adoption of military measures and which still continue in Ireland as well as in this country?
§ The PRIME MINISTERThe Irish question is not included in the Agenda which has been agreed for the forthcoming Conference.
Sir F. HALLHas the right hon. Gentleman seen the report in the Press of one of the members of the Government stating that this would be so, and under the circumstances does the right hon. Gentleman think it advisable that members of the Government should make these statements as to the intention of the Government?
§ The PRIME MINISTERI have not heard of any.
