§ Sir A. SINCLAIRasked the Prime Minister whether the Treaty signed by the British Empire, France, Italy, Rumania, and Japan, recognising the annexation of Bessarabia by Rumania, has been deposited with the League of Nations, and, if not, when it is proposed to do so; and what has been the cause of the delay?
§ The PRIME MINISTERThe Treaty has not yet been deposited with the League of Nations, because the deposit of ratifications by all the signatory Powers has not yet been completed in Paris, in accordance with Article 9 of the Treaty itself. The only signatory Powers which have ratified the Treaty so far are Great Britain and Rumania.
