HC Deb 24 May 1939 vol 347 cc2302-3W
Mr. Mander

asked the Prime Minister whether the recent decisions to send the British Ambassador back to Berlin, and that the British Ambassador should attend the victory march in Madrid were taken after consultation with, and had the prior approval of, the French Government?

The Prime Minister

As regards the return of His Majesty's Ambassador to Berlin, the answer is in the affirmative. It was not thought necessary to consult the French Government beforehand about the attendance of His Majesty's Ambassador at Madrid at the victory march. But that the French Government were in agreement in this matter with His Majesty's Government is shown by the fact that the French Ambassador at Madrid was also present at the parade, as the House was informed in the Debate on 19th May.
