§ 17. Mr. Emrys Hughesasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs what proposals were made to the British High Commissioner by the Federal German Chancellor, Dr. Adenauer, on the subject of bringing into force before ratification of parts of the Contractual Agreement made by the signatory powers; and what was the reply of Her Majesty's Government.
§ Mr. Selwyn LloydNone, Sir.
§ Mr. HughesAre we to understand that the statement made by the foreign correspondent of the "Manchester Guardian" on 15th March was inaccurate?
§ Mr. LloydIf there was any suggestion that the Federal German Chancellor had made any representation with regard to bringing into force before ratification parts of the Contractual Agreement made by the signatory Powers, and if that was what the correspondent said, then he was wrong.
