§ Mr. DONOVANasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether, as the Italian occupation of the Dodecanesos Islands only dated from the time of the Turco-Italian War of 1912, and as the people of those islands demand the right of self-determination, and request, as mainly a Grecian people, to be restored to their parent State, he will take steps to have the terms of the secret treaty concluded on 26th April, 1915, whereby England, France, and Russia formally recognised the usurpation by the Italians of the Dodecanesos Islands, altered or revoked, so as to carry out the wishes of the people concerned?
§ Lord R. CECILI have already explained more than once that I cannot answer questions dealing with the alleged contents of these treaties.
