HC Deb 18 March 1935 vol 299 c806
19. Mr. MANDER

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether, in connection with the Anglo-French proposals for an European air pact, any undertaking has been given to the French Government that this country is prepared to enter into a mutually protective arrangement with France alone in the event of the wider scheme including Germany not proving possible to negotiate?

Mr. EDEN

No, Sir.

Mr. MANDER

In the event of it being impracticable to obtain German cooperation, does not the right hon. Gentleman think it would be desirable to get together as many States as are prepared to work together?

Mr. EDEN

That is quite another matter, which does not arise now.
