HC Deb 17 June 1925 vol 185 cc483-4
6. Mr. PONSONBY

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs what special regulations have been issued by the Inter-Allied High Commission at Coblenz with regard to the millenary celebrations in the Rhineland, and whether any protest has been made that these regulations are an infringement of the civic and constitutional rights of the Rhineland?

Mr. SAMUEL

Special powers have been conferred on the chief representatives of the Inter-Allied Rhineland High Commission enabling them to prohibit any meeting, gathering, or assembly likely to prejudice the security of the armies of occupation. The answer to the second part of the question is in the negative.
