§ 36. Major GLYNasked the Prime Minister what arrangements have been made for the transportation of British troops from the zone of the Army of Occupation to the plebiscite area by the German Government; whether there have been considerable difficulties in carrying out this movement; if there is some reason to doubt whether the terms of the Peace Treaty will be put into effect before the date on which the Naval, Military, and Air Force Service Act, 1919, expires; and, in this event, what steps the British and Allied Governments propose to take to enforce the necessary pressure to back up any demands made upon the German Government or the Governments recently associated with Germany?
§ The PRIME MINISTERArrangements for the transportation of British troops to plebiscite areas are being made by Marshal Foch with the delegation of the German Government in Paris, and are not yet sufficiently advanced to permit of judgment as to the probability of difficulties arising in the execution of the movement. The Memorandum embodying the proposals is at present under consideration by the German Government. I do not think that the doubt expressed 568 in the third part of the question is justified. The last part of the question, therefore, does not arise.
