HC Deb 22 June 1936 vol 313 c1411
15. Mr. LEVY

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he can make any statement on the refortification of Heligoland by Germany contrary to the Versailles Treaty?

21. Commander LOCKER-LAMPSON

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether an undertaking was given in regard to Heligoland by Germany; and whether this undertaking is being carried out?

Mr. EDEN

I have seen recent reports that Heligoland is being fortified in contravention of the terms of Article 115 of the Treaty of Versailles: and I am making inquiries.

Commander LOCKER - LAMPSON

Have we the right to inspect Heligoland to find out whether it is so or not?

Mr. EDEN

I do not think so.

Mr. GARRO JONES

Will the right hon. Gentleman consider publishing a White Paper setting out those treaties to the breaking of which the Government will take exception and those to which they will not?
