HC Deb 20 February 1920 vol 125 c1230W
Mr. GRATTAN DOYLE

asked the Prime Minister if the refusal of Holland to hand the ex-Kaiser over to the Allies for trial for War crimes is to be regarded as final; what steps, if any, are being taken to enforce the demands of the Allies; if the continued refusal of neutral nations to surrender War criminals will be construed as an unfriendly act with a consequent break of diplomatic relations; and if Holland has given the representatives of the Allies an assurance that the ex-Kaiser will not be allowed to escape from that country.

The PRIME MINISTER

The reply of the Allied Powers to the Dutch Government has been published in the Press. There has not as yet been time to receive an answer.
