HC Deb 21 July 1938 vol 338 cc2436-7W
Lieut.-Commander Fletcher

asked the Prime Minister whether he will make a statement concerning the purport of the conversations between Herr Wiedemann and members of His Majesty's Government?

The Prime Minister

In the course of a recent visit to London Captain Wiedemann had an informal conversation with the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs. Captain Wiedemann did not come prepared to discuss any particular aspect of political affairs, but the conversation enabled him, owing to his contact with authoritative circles in Germany, to renew the assurances already given by the German Government of their desire to achieve a peaceful settlement of outstanding questions.
