HC Deb 04 April 1935 vol 300 c537
Mr. LANSBURY

(by Private Notice) asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he will be in a position to make any statement concerning the recent visits to Berlin, Moscow and Warsaw before he leaves for the Stresa Conference?

The SECRETARY of STATE for FOREIGN AFFAIRS (Sir John Simon)

The Lord Privy Seal only gets back to this country to-night, and I should therefore be glad if this question might be put down for Tuesday, when I will do my best to give an answer.

Mr. THORNE

Can the Foreign Secretary clear up one matter in regard to the statement made yesterday? Has he seen in the daily Press a statement made by the German Ambassador in this country contradicting the statement made in the House yesterday, and saying there was no truth at all in it?

Sir J. SIMON

I have seen no such statement.

Sir AUSTEN CHAMBERLAIN

Is my right hon. Friend in a position to say now, or will he say on Tuesday, what Ministers can proceed to the meeting at Stresa?

Sir J. SIMON

I have no doubt that the information would be given if the right hon. Gentleman put down a question to the Prime Minister. I think that question could be raised on Monday.
