§ 1. Colonel WEDGWOODasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether the Lord Privy Seal, on his visit to Berlin, will be in a position to raise any matters outside the question of disarmament?
§ The SECRETARY of STATE for FOREIGN AFFAIRS (Sir John Simon)The purpose of my hon. Friend's visit to Paris, Berlin and Rome, was stated by me in the House on the 6th February. I can add nothing to the statement which I then made.
§ Colonel WEDGWOODHas he raised at Berlin the question of our opinion about the incarceration of Dimitroff?
§ Sir J. SIMONI do not think that I can usefully add to the answer which I 316 have given. If my right hon. and gallant Friend will refer to the report of 6th February, he will see that I made a clear statement of the purpose of the Lord Privy Seal's mission.
§ Colonel WEDGWOODIs there no way in which he can intimate to the German Government our opinion or public opinion on the retention of Dimitroff in prison?
§ Sir J. SIMONI can add nothing further to what I have already said.
