I would refer my hon. Friend to my right hon. Friend's speech in this House on 22nd October, in which he stated that His Majesty's Government are prepared to accept the French proposals about the Saar, subject to the necessary adjustments of the French reparations balance and the delimitation of the exact area. This still represents the policy of His Majesty's Government, in whose opinion a final settlement of the issues raised by the recent incorporation of the Saar in the French Customs Union must await quadripartite decision.
