HC Deb 09 March 1925 vol 181 c923
66 and 67. Mr. LIVINGSTONE

asked the Secretary of State for War (1) whether the fortifications on the western frontier of Germany and in Heligoland have been totally dismantled;

(2) whether the German Reichswehr has been reduced to the strength provided for by the Treaty of Versailles?

The SECRETARY of STATE for WAR (Sir Laming Worthington-Evans)

The fortifications of Heligoland have been completely dismantled; the work was undertaken by the Inter-Allied Naval Commission of Control. It would not be advisable to make any statement regarding the fortifications on the western frontier of Germany or the present strength of the German Army until the Allied Governments have had an opportunity of considering the report which is being prepared by the Allied Military Committee of Versailles.
