§ 54. Mr. MORELasked the Prime Minister whether he has now obtained any information as to the authenticity of the document published last Sunday week purporting to be a report of the French Commissioner on the Rhineland High Commission; and whether the attitude of His Majesty's Government remains one of opposition to the policy of separating the Rhineland from the German Reich?
§ The PRIME MINISTERI have nothing to add to the reply on this subject which I gave to the hon. Member for Aberavon (Mr. Ramsay MacDonald) on 25th June.
§ Mr. MORELIs the Prime Minister aware that the author of this Report is the Marquis de Lillers, delegate at Wiesbaden since 1921 of the Inter-Allied Rhineland High Commission, upon which Commission this country is represented?
§ The PRIME MINISTERI cannot pursue all the statements that are made in the Press on these subjects. I have no official knowledge of that at all, and I do not think any further discussion of that matter at this moment would be of the slightest use.
