HC Deb 27 May 1919 vol 116 c1011
38. Sir F. HALL

asked the Secretary for War if he is in a position to state the number of troops who would be immediately available for use in the event of Germany refusing to sign the Allied Peace terms; and will he state what troops could be mobilised in the near future by Ger many to meet such a contingency?

Mr. FORESTER

I am afraid it would not be in the public interest to give this information.
