HC Deb 13 September 1939 vol 351 cc638-9
32. Major-General Sir Alfred Knox

asked the Secretary of State for Dominion Affairs what steps have been taken to ensure that the Dominions shall receive from the theatres of war, with the least possible delay, the necessary information on which to base their own organisation, equipment and military effort?

The Secretary of State for Dominion Affairs (Mr. Eden)

This matter is having the close attention of His Majesty's Government in the United Kingdom.

Every possible step is being taken to maintain close contact with the Dominion Governments and to keep them fully informed upon all aspects of the present situation.

Sir A. Knox

Can my right hon. Friend state what is the channel of communication? Does the information go direct from the War Office through the High Commissioners?

Mr. Eden

The channel is Dominions Office.
