HC Deb 26 November 1930 vol 245 cc1284-5
9. Mr. FREEMAN

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether, in view of the fact that the disarmament of Germany, following the Versailles Treaty of Peace, was agreed to be a preliminary to general disarmament, he will state what steps have been taken during the last 12 years to give it practical effect by the various countries concerned?

Mr. A. HENDERSON

It is quite impossible, within the limits of an oral answer to a Parliamentary question, to give all the particulars asked for by my hon. Friend. I shall, however, be glad to arrange for him to see an official of my Department who will be prepared to show him all the relevant documents.

Mr. FREEMAN

Is the right hon. Gentleman satisfied with the progress which has been made?

Mr. HENDERSON

Very far from it.

Mr. FREEMAN

What further steps are being taken in the matter?
