§ 1. Mr. Manderasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs what communications he has received from Allied Governments concerning Lord Halifax's declaration of war and peace aims at New York in March; and whether he will consult with them with a view to obtaining their views on the statement?
§ The Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs (Mr. Butler)No communications have been received from Allied Governments on this subject, and no approach to them is contemplated.
§ Mr. ManderHas the right hon. Gentleman any reason to think that the Allied Governments in any way disapprove of this admirable expression of our views?
§ Mr. ButlerNo, Sir. I have no reason to believe that, and if they have any views to express, no doubt they will express them.
