§ 11. Mr. A. Hendersonasked the Prime Minister whether he is aware of the recent declaration by Dr. Hodza, the Prime Minister of Czechoslovakia, of the desire of his Government that His Majesty's Government should realise that appeasement and peace in Central Europe is a matter of general, and therefore of British, interest; and whether he will assure the Czechoslovakian Government that His Majesty's Government fully realise this fact?
§ The Prime MinisterI have read with great interest the speech recently made by the Prime Minister of Czechoslovakia, but I do not consider that it requires or invites any further statement on my part.
§ Mr. HendersonIs it not a fact that the Prime Minister of Czechoslovakia expressed in a speech the desire of the Czechoslovakian Government that the British Government should recognise this fact, and is it not the case that His Majesty's Government do take this view? Can the Prime Minister say so?
§ The Prime MinisterI have nothing further to add to the answer which I have given.
