HC Deb 18 June 1934 vol 291 cc4-5
5. Mr. HANNON

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether any recent approach has been made to the German Government with a view to establishing a convention, of the states of Europe to prepare the way for permanent peace?

Sir J. SIMON

I have no knowledge of any approach to the German Government for the purpose suggested in my hon. Friend's question.

Mr. HANNON

Has the right hon. Gentleman's attention been called to the Prime Minister's speech last week in which he said he was prepared to meet Germany and suggested a convention as adumbrated in my question?

Sir J. SIMON

I do not think the Prime Minister's declaration in any way conflicts with my answer.
