§ 53. Mr. MANDERasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether it is proposed again to approach the French Government with a request for information as to what kind of guarantees for the execution of a disarmament convention would interest them?
§ The SECRETARY of STATE for FOREIGN AFFAIRS (Sir John Simon)I made a statement in the House on 22nd November last regarding disarmament negotiations. I would prefer to make no further statement for the present on this subject.
§ Mr. MANDERIs it not possible that the present French Government might take a different view of the matter from its predecessor?
§ Sir J. SIMONI am sure my hon. Friend has given much thought to this matter, but so have other people.
