48. Captain BENNasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether, in view of the evacua- 248 tions of German territory now being carried out, how soon it is the intention of the Government to evacuate Cologne?
§ Mr. McNEILLYes. Sir. The evacuation will take place as soon as the German Government have completed the execution of the measures of disarmament contained in the Allied Note of the 4th June.
Captain BENNCan the right hon. Gentleman give us any indication of what progress is being made in regard to this matter?
§ Mr. McNEILLThat is quite a different question from the one on the Paper.
