asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he remains in daily telegraphic communication with the British Minister at Jassy; whether dispatches by messenger continue to come through; whether the Allies are kept aware of the peace negotiations between Roumania and the enemy Powers; and whether the Allies are in any way parties to, or cognisant of, the terms which Roumania is likely to accept or has already accepted?

Certainly I should not make such a statement, though my right hon. Friend might conceivably do so.
