§ 1. Mr. Manderasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he will inform the German Government that the restoration of the German colonies is not a discussible subject?
§ The Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs (Viscount Cranborne)I have nothing to add to previous statements on this subject made on behalf of His Majesty's Government.
§ Mr. ManderAm I to understand that we no longer adhere to the statement made by the Foreign Secretary on 2nd May, 1935, that this subject was not a discussible one?
§ Viscount CranborneThe hon. Member had better read the statements that have been made.
§ Mr. ManderMay we take it that there has been a change?
§ Colonel WedgwoodHas the Noble Lord any guarantee that this subject will not be discussed with Germany without the concurrence and presence of the allied and associated Powers?
§ Viscount CranborneI think that hardly arises from the question. I cannot add anything to what I have said.
