HC Deb 11 December 1935 vol 307 c880
1. Brigadier-General SPEARS

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he will publish in the form of a White Paper the correspondence exchanged between His Majesty's Government and the French Government with reference to the support asked for from the French Government in case our fleet were attacked in the Mediterranean, and, in particular, the notes or memoranda of 5th, 14th, 16th, 18th and 26th October, 1935?

The PRIME MINISTER (Mr. Baldwin)

No, Sir. I regret that it would not be in the public interest to publish the correspondence on this subject.

Brigadier-General SPEARS

Can my right hon. Friend give me any idea when the information will be available to the House?

The PRIME MINISTER

Not at present.
