§ Mr. KINGasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs what foreign countries enjoyed for their subjects exemption from military service in Belgium in virtue of the wording of the most-favoured-nation Clauses of their Treaties with Belgium; and whether, in concluding any convention for mutual liability to military service with a foreign country, due regard will be observed to the complications which may arise in connection with Treaties containing most-favoured-nation Clauses?
§ Lord R. CECILI would refer the hon. Member to the reply returned to him by Sir Edward Grey on 27th June, 1916. I will send the hon. Member a list of the countries in question if he wishes. The answer to the last part of the question is in the affirmative, but I do not anticipate any complications.
