§ 7. Mr. COCKSasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he can make any further statement as to the present position of the proposal to form an Austro-German customs union?
§ Mr. DALTONAs my hon. Friend is aware, this question has been referred by the Council of the League of Nations to the Permanent Court of International Justice for an advisory opinion. The Court is meeting on Monday next.
§ Mr. COCKSMay we take it that His Majesty's Government are not exercising any pressure upon Germany to abandon this project?
§ Mr. DALTONThat is a rather different question; and I think my hon. Friend would be well advised to leave the matter as it now stands.
