§ 54. Viscount WOLMERasked the Prime Minister whether any communications have been exchanged between His Majesty's Government and the Italian Government with regard to the accusations which have been made by the executive committee of the British Labour party against the Italian Government in regard to the Matteotti case?
§ The PRIME MINISTERNo official communication has been received from the Italian Government, but I have profited by a recent conversation with the Italian Ambassador to supply to him the reply which I returned to the hon. and gallant Member for Maidstone (Commander Bellairs) on the 18th instant.
§ Viscount WOLMERIs the right hon. Gentleman aware that his political party formally charged the Italian Government with being morally responsible for this crime, and does he not think it desirable that the Government of this country should dissociate themselves from these sentiments?
§ The PRIME MINISTERThe Government must not be held responsible for Resolutions carried at party meetings. I am perfectly certain nobody is more aware of that fact than the Noble Lord himself.
