5. Sir F. HALLasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if he has any official information that, in consequence of recent developments in Finland under German dictation, the French Government has broken off diplomatic relations with that country; and if the question of adopting a similar course is under consideration by His Majesty's Government?
§ Lord R. CECILThe answer to the first part of the question is in the affirmative. His Majesty's Government never formally recognised the present Finnish Government, and the second part of the question does not, therefore, arise.
