§ 2. Mr. MABANEasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he is yet in a position to make a statement on the terms of the Rome Protocols signed by Italy, Austria, and Hungary; and whether he can indicate the extent to which these agreements affect our interests or our policy in the Danubian basin?
§ Sir J. SIMONThe terms of the protocols have already been made public. 3 So far as they relate to economic matters they provide for further negotiations to be completed by the 15th May next. Pending the issue of these negotiations I can express no opinion on the second part of my hon. Friend's question.
