§ 52. Mr. Warbeyasked the Prime Minister if he will publish in a White Paper the text of his letter of 12th January to the former Prime Minister of France concerning the ratification of the Paris Agreements.
§ Major Anstruther-GrayOn a point of order, Mr. Speaker, had not the hour struck before this Question was asked.
§ Mr. SpeakerI think it was just striking when I called the hon. Member's Question.
§ The Prime MinisterI would refer the hon. Member to my remarks on this subject in the debate yesterday.
§ Mr. WarbeyIn the meantime, in view of the fact that M. Pinet has already quoted extracts from that letter, can the right hon. Gentleman confirm that he took the opportunity to threaten that, if France did not quickly ratify the Paris Agreements, her place would be left empty in international conferences?
§ The Prime MinisterI do not think it is a very well-chosen moment to put so crudely a statement the actual facts of which will in due course be communicated to the House.
