LIBERATED FRENCH TERRITORY (ADMINISTRATION)

HC Deb 02 August 1944 vol 402 cc1410-1W

Mr. Martin

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he can now publish the details of the tripartite agreement between His Majesty's Government, the U.S.A. and the French Committee of National Liberation on the administration of liberated French territory.

Mr. Eden

The negotiations in Washington are reaching their final stages, but they are not yet actually concluded and my hon. Friend will understand that it is therefore impossible for me to make any further statement on this subject at the moment.

Miss Ward

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he can make a statement on the basis of the agreement come to between ourselves, the U.S.A. and the French National Committee.

Mr. Eden

I would refer the hon. Lady to the reply given to my hon. Friend the Member for Central Southwark (Mr. Martin) to-day.
