HC Deb 17 July 1940 vol 363 cc187-8
2. Mr. Mander

asked the Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs the attitude of the British Government towards the Swedish Government's decision to permit soldiers passing from Norway to Germany to travel through Swedish territory?

Mr. Butler

I would refer the hon. Member to the answer which I gave yesterday on this subject.

Mr. Mander

Is not the action of the Swedish Government in direct violation of the Convention of 1907? What action do the Government propose to take?

Mr. Butler

We have already indicated our view to the Swedish Government that this constitutes a serious breach of neutrality.

Mr. Mander

Does the right hon. Gentleman intend to press the matter?
