§ 25. Lieut.-Commander KENWORTHYasked the Prime Minister whether the 15 British chargé d'affaires in Berlin has informed the German Government that supplies of food and raw material will be prevented from entering Germany in the event of a Communist Government being set up; and whether we are prepared to bring similar pressure to bear to prevent the restoration of the Hohenzollerns or the setting up of a military dictatorship in Germany?
§ Mr. BONAR LAW (Leader of the House)The actual terms of the statement made by the chargé d'affaires were that such possibility as might exist of help being afforded by way of foodstuffs, raw materials or credits could be destroyed by violent action from any quarter.
§ Lieut. - Commander KENWORTHYWhy was it not made at the time of the Kapp-Luttwitz camp? Why did we wait until several days after that had been demolished?
§ Mr. BONAR LAWAs the House knows, it is not usual to make any statement of this kind. It is made now because there were rumours that another ministry was to be formed.
