§ 14. Mr. THORNEasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he can give the House any information in connection with the agreement arrived at between Herr von Papen, of Germany, and the Chancellor of Austria relative to the political and economic conditions of both countries; and whether he can state the terms of the agreement?
§ Viscount CRANBORNEI understand that the agreement in question was concluded on 11th July. The information which I have so far received tends to confirm the terms as published in to-day's Press.
§ Mr. TH0RNEHas the Noble Lord seen any comments made in the Italian Press on this matter as to whether they acquiesce in this agreement?
§ Viscount CRANBORNEThe information has only just come in, and we have not had time to receive any communication from Italy at all.
§ Mr. THORNEWhen you have received the full text of this agreement will it be possible to have it circulated?
§ Viscount CRANBORNEI will certainly consider that suggestion.
