§ 29. Mr. Hannahasked the Prime Minister whether, in view of recent German decrees about the Jews, the Government will offer to co-operate with that of Germany in a scheme for their gradual and orderly evacuation from the Reich?
§ Mr. ButlerThe promotion of orderly emigration of refugees from Germany is one of the chief aims of the London Inter-Governmental Committee. By their membership of the Committee, His Majesty's Government have made it clear that they are ready to co-operate in all possible steps to this end.
§ Sir W. DavisonCan my right hon. Friend say why it is, if the German Government desire to get rid of these Jews from Germany, they will only let them go after taking their property and appropriating it
§ Mr. ButlerI would refer my hon. Friend to the recent statement of the German Government on the subject, which should, I think, repay study.
Miss RathboneCan the right hon. Gentleman state when the Government Committee will hold its next meeting, as it was stated in the Press that it would be held this week in London? Is that the case?
§ Mr. ButlerI should require notice of that question.
§ Sir A. SinclairWhen the right hon. Gentleman says the recent statement of the German Government would repay study, does he mean that these Jews will be enabled to take their property out of Germany, because I did not gather that?
§ Mr. ButlerIt is not as simple as that.
