§ Sir Michael McNair-WilsonTo ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs whether the agreement signed by the four occupying powers, the United Kingdom, the United States of America, Union of Soviet Socialist Republics and France, with the two Germanies to enable unification to take place is a de facto peace treaty with Germany or whether a separate peace treaty will be signed to re-establish the legal status, responsibilities and liabilities of the new German state; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. Garel-JonesThe treaty on the final settlement with respect to Germany settles definitively matters arising out of the Second World War as between the parties to the treaty. There will be no separate peace treaty.
