§ 47. Captain WEDGWOOD BENNasked the Prime Minister whether His Majesty's Government has made any agreement with its Allies concerning the suppression of the organisation of German police in military groups, and other matters relative thereto?
§ Captain BENNDid not the hon. and gallant Gentleman tell the House the other day that we were satisfied that the Germans were carrying out the disarmament Clauses of the Treaty?
Lieut.-Colonel GUINNESSThe Council of Ambassadors in Paris is in communication with Germany on the subject. As to the details, I am afraid that I cannot answer.
§ Captain BENNWhat is the need of putting new demands upon Germany if the Government are satisfied that the terms are being carried out?
Lieut.-Colonel GUINNESSI see no reason for thinking that there are new demands. Certain facts have probably come to light, and no doubt the attention 660 of the German Government has been drawn to these facts, but the matter is in the hands of the Ambassadors' Council. I have not got the information.
§ Captain BENNDoes the answer that the terms were being carried out still stand?
§ Captain BERKELEYWhat steps are proposed by the Government to give effect to this agreement?
Lieut.-Colonel GUINNESSThey are negotiating through the Council of Ambassadors. I naturally cannot say what steps will be necessary as a result of these negotiations.
