Question

Would Britain give Schleswig-Holstein to Denmark and reclaim Zealand?

Short answer

A Schleswig-Holstein transfer is considered possible if Britain can impose it and sees a naval advantage. The Zealand proposal is rejected.

Notes

The proposed transfer is conditional on Britain's ability to impose it and its effect on German naval power. Schleswig-Holstein is therefore considered as part of the maritime settlement. The additional suggestion concerning Zealand receives a negative answer.
