§ Sir JOHN ROLLESTONasked the Secretary for Foreign Affairs whether there are in existence a treaty or treaties which have been broken by the invasion of Bulgaria by Roumania; and whether he will lay before Parliament particulars of this treaty or treaties, if they exist, so that full information on this subject may be in possession of Members of the House of Commons?
§ Sir E. GREYThe territorial cessions to be made by Bulgaria to Roumania were fixed by a protocol signed, at St. Petersburg, by the Russian Minister for Foreign Affairs and the Ambassadors of the other Great Powers, and their award was accepted by the Roumanian Government. I am not sure whether it was formally accepted by the Bulgarian Government before the outbreak of hostilities, but this instrument cannot properly be described as a treaty. I cannot undertake to lay before Parliament the text of any treaty on other international agreement without the previous consent of the other signatory parties.
