§ 34. Colonel Sir A. SPROTasked the Prime Minister whether the cost of the British troops in Silesia is chargeable to Poland and Germany, or does this country have to bear the cost of these troops; and who is responsible for the delay in settling the administration of the industrial area in Silesia which prevents the withdrawal of these troops?
Mr. HARMSWORTHThe cost is chargeable to Poland and Germany under the terms of the Treaty of Versailles. The troops will be withdrawn as soon as the frontier is fixed and notified to the interested Governments, after the ratification of the economic agreement between Germany and Poland now being negotiated by a mixed commission under the presidency of a chairman appointed by the League of Nations.
§ Colonel WEDGWOODWhat is the use of charging this to Germany when she is not paying the bill?
§ Lieut.-Commander KENWORTHYWill the British troops be withdrawn simultaneously with those of the other Allied troops?
