§ Viscount CURZON (by Private Notice)asked the Prime Minister whether a Conference took place this morning between the Government and the British signatories of the Irish Treaty; whether any statement can be made as to the subjects under discussion, and whether any decisions were taken?
§ The PRIME MINISTER (Mr. J. Ramsay MacDonald)Some difficulty having arisen in connection with the interpretation of Clause 12 of the Irish Agreement, I thought it advisable to inform the leaders of parties and signatories of the Treaty still in either House of Parliament and ask their counsel. No decisions were taken.
