HC Deb 05 April 1939 vol 345 cc2758-9
8. Mr. Mander

asked the Prime Minister whether, following on the guarantee to Poland, His Majesty's Government will enter into conversations with Holland, Switzerland, Denmark, and Belgium with a view to giving similar undertakings to those countries?

Mr. Butler

I have at present nothing to add to the Prime Minister's speech in the Debate on 3rd April, but I would remind the hon. Member that this country already has treaty obligations towards Belgium.

Mr. Mander

Has any guarantee been given to any of these countries?

Mr. Butler

I can add nothing to what was said by my right hon. Friend the Prime Minister on 3rd April.

Mr. Mander

Surely, it is of the utmost importance that if any guarantee has been given the world should know it?

Mr. Butler

I would refer the hon. Member to the very important statement made by the Prime Minister.
