HC Deb 21 March 1935 vol 299 c1376
45. Sir P. HARRIS

asked the Prime Minister whether any estimate has been made as to the probable cost of the latest proposals for the re-armament of Ger many?

The PRIME MINISTER (Mr. Ramsay MacDonald)

His Majesty's Government have no information as to the probable cost of the latest proposals for the rearmament, of Germany.

Sir P. HARRIS

I am asking the right hon. Gentleman whether any estimate has been made by the Government of the probable amount of this increased expenditure?

57. Sir CHARLES CAYZER

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether, in view of the announcement of the German Government of the reintroduction of the system of conscription into the German army, it is the intention of the Government to publish as a White Paper the reports of the senior British officer in charge of German effectives for the years 1920 to 1923?

The LORD PRIVY SEAL (Mr. Eden)

I presume that my hon. Friend has in mind the reports addressed by the Effectives Sub-Commission to the Military Control Commission. It may be assumed that any portions of those reports which were relevant at the time of the withdrawal from Germany at the end of January, 1927, of the Inter-Allied Military Control Commission, were duly embodied in the final report of that Commission. The final report is retained in' the archives of the League of Nations Secretariat at Geneva and the question of its publication would be a matter for the League.
