§ 12. Mr. COCKSasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether it is the view of His Majesty's Government that a Western air pact should be negotiated up to the point of reducing it to terms and articles, but that it should not be definitely signed except as a, part of the general agreement envisaged in the declaration of 3rd February?
§ Sir S. HOAREI have nothing to add to the statement made by my predecessor on the subject in the course of the Debate in the House on 31st May.
§ Mr. COCKSAs the right hon. Gentleman has referred me to this statement before, is he aware that the statement was not altogether definite in every detail, and that I gathered that that indicated generally that the policy of His Majesty's Government is as is laid down in my question; and could not the right hon. Gentleman confirm it?
§ Sir S. HOARENo, Sir, I think that my right hon. Friend, not for the first time, expressed the position very admirably, and I have nothing to add to it.
