Cablegram 280 LONDON, 27 April 1940, 12.30 a.m.
FOR PRIME MINISTER PERSONAL HIMSELF ONLY
In my view seriousness of Norwegian situation and its repercussions cannot be exaggerated as I can see no alternative in face of present position to immediate withdrawal of all Allied forces with exception of those in Narvik area. I need not stress secrecy of above opinion.
