HC Deb 04 May 1922 vol 153 cc1580-1W
Colonel WEDGWOOD

asked the Prime Minister whether he will see that British troops are withdrawn, as the American troops have been, from the occupied territory in Germany if the French Government takes any steps to extend that occupied territory by sanctions of which His Majesty's Government has not definitely expressed its approval?

Mr. CHAMBERLAIN

The hon. and gallant Member founds his question on an assumption which is incorrect, for ho will have seen by this morning's papers that the American troops have not been withdrawn, and then asks me what His Majesty's Government will do in a contingency which is doubly hypothetical. I cannot at this stage answer such a question.
