§ 4. Colonel WEDGWOODasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether the provisional agreement come to by His Majesty's Government as to the reckoning of the French reserves for disarmament purposes is now binding upon this country in spite of the fact that the concurrent part of the agreement concerning naval strength has been abandoned?
§ Sir A. CHAMBERLAINI would refer the right hon. and gallant Member to the full statement made by the Prime Minister in this House on the 13th November.
§ Colonel WEDGWOODAs that full statement has been misunderstood in France, could we not have it confirmed that, as far as our pledge to France is concerned, we would not consider those reserves? Are we to assume that that pledge is at an end?
§ Sir A. CHAMBERLAINI think that it is quite unnecessary for me to presume to confirm what the Prime Minister has already stated or to add anything to the statement which he made.
§ Colonel WEDGWOODDoes the right hon. Gentleman make that statement in view of the fact that the French Government have since misinterpreted it?
