HC Deb 26 July 1933 vol 280 c2566
7. Mr. ANEURIN BEVAN

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he has any information regarding the organisation of the Nazi troops in Germany as 'a military force; and whether His Majesty's Government is taking any action in the matter?

Mr. EDEN

As my right hon. Friend, the Secretary of State,for Foreign Affairs, informed the hon. Member for Chester-le-Street (Mr. Lawson) on 8th May, the question of potential military effectives is under consideration by the Disarmament Conference, which has yet to reach a conclusion in the matter.

Mr. BEVAN

Would the hon. Gentleman inform the House whether inquiries have been made as to the extent to which these troops have now been organised as a permanent military arm of Germany since May?

Mr. EDEN

That is not the question on the Paper. This subject is before the Disarmament Conference, and we as members of that Conference have it before us there.
