294
The High Commissioner for the United Kingdom (Wellington) to the Secretary of State for Dominion Affairs

14 June 1940

I have been asked by the Prime Minister to inform you that immediately on receipt of your telegram of 13 June (No. 293) Cabinet was summoned and at once agreed to provide the additional units asked for: already steps have been taken with a view to recruiting the men and transporting them as soon as possible. The Prime Minister asks me to say that if there is any other form of help which the United Kingdom wants, and which New Zealand is able to give, you have only to ask for it.
