§ Mr. Manderasked the Prime Minister whether he will state the present position with regard to the negotiations for a Franco-Italian pact on the lines of the Anglo-Italian pact; and whether the French Government have made any representations to the British Government on the subject?
§ Mr. ButlerI understand that the negotiations between France and Italy have been suspended since the beginning of May. As regards the last part of the question, I would refer the hon. Member to the reply given on Monday last to the hon. Member for Kingswinford (Mr. A. Henderson).
