55. Sir F. HALLasked the Lord Privy Seal if his attention has been called to the report that the German Government has repudiated the indemnity offer made in its note of 20th May, 1919, on the ground that since then Germany's economic resources have been weakened by further territorial losses not contemplated by the Treaty of Versailles; and if he will state whether in fact Germany has been called upon since May, 1919, 1997 to surrender any territory not covered by the Treaty?
§ Mr. BONAR LAWThe answer to both parts of the question is in the negative.
