§ 6. Sir K. WOODasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if he can now make a statement as to the settlement of the outstanding differences left by the London Naval Treaty?
Mr. A. HENDERSONThere have been no further developments since my reply to the right hon. Gentleman on 29th June.
§ Sir K. WOODDoes the right hon. Gentleman propose to take any further immediate steps in the matter?
Mr. HENDERSONI thought the right hon. Gentleman was aware, from answers that had been given, that the difficulty does not rest with His Majesty's Government. I dare say reference will be made to the subject in the forthcoming visit to Paris.
§ Colonel GRETTONAre any negotiations proceeding?
Mr. HENDERSONI have explained more than once what the situation is. Negotiations at the moment are not proceeding.
§ Sir K. WOODDid not the right hon. Gentleman claim a triumph for the results that he had achieved?
Mr. HENDERSONYes, and I was quite entitled to do so. The blame does not rest with the Government of this country, and I should have thought the right hon. Gentleman would be the first to admit it.
