§ 69. Mr. MANDERasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether the British guarantee to support France in the event of an act of unprovoked aggression extended to the French Colonies?
§ The UNDER-SECRETARY of STATE for FOREIGN AFFAIRS (Viscount Cranborne)As my right hon. Friend stated in reply to a question by my hon. Friend the Member for South-West Norfolk (Mr. De Chair) on 2nd December, the guarantees given under the Treaty of Locarno are clearly limited to Europe by the wording of the Treaty.
§ Mr. MANDERCan the Noble Lord say whether this French undertaking of support to this country applies to the British Colonies as well as to the British Isles?
§ Viscount CRANBORNEThat is quite a different question and I suggest that the hon. Gentleman should put it down.
