HC Deb 16 February 1949 vol 461 c177W
80. Mr. Parker

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs what is the area of former German territory which the occupying Powers have agreed should be given to the Netherlands; and what is the approximate further area claimed by the Netherlands Government.

Mr. McNeil

Following the Six-Power talks in London on Germany in May last year, it was announced "that the delegates have agreed to submit for the consideration of their Governments proposals for dealing with certain minor provisional territorial adjustments in connection with the Western frontiers of Germany." Subsequently these proposals were discussed by the Governments concerned and it is hoped that a communiqué on this subject will be issued in the near future. I regret that until these discussions are ended I am not in a position to furnish the information desired by my hon. Friend.
