HC Deb 13 February 1939 vol 343 c1349
10. Mr. Day

asked the Prime Minister particulars of the discussions that have taken place between the original participating governments concerned in the Locarno Treaty for the purpose of arriving at a basis by which an amendment can be agreed upon in order to secure a guarantee of assistance against invasion or aggressive attack?

Mr. Butler

The general position as regards the Locarno Treaty remains as stated in the reply given to my hon. and gallant Friend the Member for Berwick and Haddington (Captain McEwen) on 7th April, 1938.

Mr. Day

Can the right hon. Gentleman say whether any variations have been agreed between the different Governments concerned?

Mr. Butler

The answer to which I have referred the hon. Gentleman is a rather long one, and perhaps he would be good enough to study it.
