HC Deb 05 April 1939 vol 345 c2790
14. Captain Arthur Evans

asked the Prime Minister the position of Czecho-Slovakian sugar quota under the International Sugar Agreement since the annexation of Czecho-Slovakia by Germany?

Mr. Butler

The situation, as it effects the Czecho-Slovakian sugar quota, arising out the recent action of Germany in that country, is at present doubtful, and I am unable for the moment to make a statement on the subject.

Captain Evans

Are His Majesty's Government considering the situation and whether it is necessary to make overtures to the German Government?

Mr. Butler

As I said, the situation is at present doubtful.
