HC Deb 01 July 1935 vol 303 cc1503-4
3. Mr. COCKS

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he has ascertained from the German Government whether Herr Hitler, in stating that the German Government was prepared, in principle, to conclude pacts of non-aggression with each of its neighbours with the exception of Lithuania, included Soviet Russia in the definition of a neighbour?

Sir S. HOARE

His Majesty's Government have always assumed that Herr Hitler's offer included Soviet Russia.
