HC Deb 08 February 1945 vol 407 cc2255-6W
Mr. Thorne

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs how many countries are at war with our enemies; and how many are still neutral and in relations with them.

Mr. George Hall

Including the members of the British Commonwealth of Nations, 40 countries are at war with one or more of our enemies. This number includes four of our ex-enemies which have since broken with Germany and declared war on her. Seven countries are still neutral and in relations with at least one of our enemies.
