HC Deb 28 June 1939 vol 349 cc389-90
13. Mr. Cocks

asked the Prime Minister whether he has airy information concerning the position in Danzig; and whether the formation of a Nazi Free Corps in that city is in accordance with the inter national agreements regulating its constitution?

Mr. Butler

The third annual District Cultural Week of the National-Socialist Party was held at Danzig from13th-18th June. This provided an opportunity for the German Minister of Propaganda to visit the Free City and to deliver a speech on 17th June on the international position of Danzig. In reply to the second part of the question, certain reports have been brought to the notice of His Majesty's Government, but the position is not at the moment quite clear.

Mr. Cocks

In view of the somewhat delicate position at Danzig, will not the Government consider easing the position by sending a British naval squadron on a friendly visit to the Baltic?
