HC Deb 13 July 1936 vol 314 cc1639-40
9. Commander LOCKER-LAMPSON

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he can now say whether Germany's undertaking regarding the refortification of Heligoland has been kept; and whether any right of inspection is exercised in this connection?

Viscount CRANBORNE

As regards the first part of the question, inquiries have been made, and I understand that the island of Heligoland is being fortified. As regards the second part, I understand that no right of inspection exists.

Commander LOCKER-LAMPSON

Is it being fortified by the leave of His Majesty's Government?

Viscount CRANBORNE

No, Sir, it is not being fortified by the leave of anyone.
