§ Mr. Eric Fletcher(by Private Notice) asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs what reply is being sent to the French Government's request that the British and United States Governments should postpone the proposed Frankfurt meeting with the Commanders-in-Chief, until after the vote in the French Assembly.
§ Mr. MayhewA request to this effect has been received this morning. Meanwhile, I understand that the Allied Military Governors had already postponed the meeting.
§ Mr. FletcherThat announcement will be widely welcomed in France. May we therefore take it that no fresh step will be taken in connection with the German situation until after the French Assembly has reached its decision?
§ Mr. MayhewWell, certainly the meeting will not take place.
