§ 5. Mr. A. Hendersonasked the Prime Minister whether he has any information of the effect on the standard of living of the Czech people following on the incorporation of their country in the German customs union?
§ Mr. ButlerThe answer to the hon. and gallant Member's Question is that this incorporation, which was to have been effected on 1st April, has not yet taken place. In general it may be presumed that the standard of living of the Czech people has by now been assimilated to that of the German people.
§ Mr. HendersonDoes not that mean that the standard of living of the Czech people has been lowered as a result?
§ Mr. ButlerThat may be presumed.
