§ 47. Lieut.-Commander KENWORTHYasked the Prime Minister whether he is yet in a position to state whether a reply has been received from the French Government to the British Note on the occupation of the Ruhr Valley; and, if so, what is the nature of this reply?
§ The PRIME MINISTERI can assure the hon. and gallant Member that as soon as it is possible to give any information to the House on the subject of his question, it will be done.
Mr. J. RAMSAY MacDONALDCan the right hon. Gentleman hold out any hope of that statement being made in the course of this week?
§ The PRIME MINISTERI think it will be possible to make some statement on Thursday.
§ Lieut.-Commander KENWORTHYCan the right hon. Gentleman answer the first part of my question—I can understand his reluctance to answer the second; I do not press that—has he had a reply from the French Government, "Yes" or "No"?
§ The PRIME MINISTERI told the hon. and gallant Gentleman the other day that verbal communications were passing.
