§ Sir P. Hannonasked the Prime Minister whether his attention has been called to the warnings presented to the Governments of the Argentine and Denmark by the German Government that nationals of those countries would incur grave risk by travelling in British ships; and whether a public declaration of the attitude of His Majesty's Government to such statements by the German Government, which are in violation of international law, will be made to all neutral countries?
§ Mr. ButlerHis Majesty's Government, whose attention has been called to certain statements to this effect which have been published in the Argentine and Danish Press, do not consider that any declaration on their part is called for. The measures taken for the protection of British shipping and the very considerable success with which they have been attended are already well known in all neutral countries.
