§ 62. Lieut.-Colonel Sir S. HOAREasked the Prime Minister whether he can make an announcement to the House as to the recent proposals made by the Government to the Allies in connection with the disarmament of Germany?
§ The PRIME MINISTERThe British proposals are actually under discussion by the Ambassadors' Conference, and it would not be proper for me at this stage to make a statement on what is essentially an inter-Allied question, which might prejudice the settlement desired by all parties.
§ Sir S. HOAREWhile I appreciate fully the Prime Minister's answer, may I ask him whether he will make an announcement at the earliest opportunity?
§ The PRIME MINISTERYes.
