§ 47. Mr. SANDYSasked the Prime Minister whether, in order to remove misapprehensions which at present exist in official quarters in Germany and which, if allowed to continue, must adversely affect Anglo-German relations, His Majesty's Government will consider the advisability of intimating to the German Government that the transfer to Germany of any colonial mandate held by His Majesty's Government is a matter which they are not under any circumstances prepared to consider?
§ The PRIME MINISTERI have no reason to suppose that the German Government is under any such misapprehension. The policy of His Majesty's Government has been repeatedly and clearly stated by this and previous Governments.
§ Mr. PETHERICKWill His Majesty's Government make it very clear that it is neither impressed by, nor will it give in to, bluff?
