HC Deb 14 June 1938 vol 337 c71W
Mr. Day

asked the Prime Minister whether he will give particulars of the number of occasions that direct representations or protests have been made to the Italian and/or German Governments during the three years ended at the last convenient date?

Mr. Butler

His Majesty's representatives are in continual touch with the Governments to which they are accredited and representations and communications are frequently addressed to those Governments on a very wide variety of subjects of greater or less importance. I regret that it would be quite impossible for me to furnish, in reply to a question, particulars such as the hon. Member desires, which would amount to the compilation of a diplomatic history of the last three years.
