§ Mr. HEALYasked the Secretary of State for Dominion Affairs if he is aware that the Government of the Irish Free State claim that they have failed to secure from His Majesty's Government a declaration that their association was free and voluntary and that, in the event of the Irish Free State deciding to leave the Commonwealth, it will be in no worse position, from a fiscal point of view, than Denmark or the Argentine; and if any correspondence has passed between his Ministry and Dublin on this matter?
Mr. THOMASI would refer the hon. Member to the despatches exchanged with Mr. de Valera, which I read to the house on 5th December.
