HC Deb 08 April 1941 vol 370 cc1427-8W
Mr. Kennedy

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he has any information as to the extent of the German occupation of military bases in France and Belgium; and the attitude of the Governments of France and Belgium to that occupation?

Mr. Butler

The whole of Belgium is under enemy occupation. The Belgian Government is established in London and is collaborating with His Majesty's Government as a belligerent ally. More than half of France, including the Channel and Atlantic coasts, is under enemy occupation under the terms of the armistice accepted by the French Government. The latter is now established in unoccupied territory.
