HC Deb 29 May 1919 vol 116 c1406
46. Colonel WEDGWOOD

asked the Prime Minister whether the blockade is still maintained against Hungary, because that State is a Socialist Republic?

Mr. HARMSWORTH

The answer is in the negative. The blockade against Hungary is maintained for the present because the Associated Governments are not satisfied that the existing Government of Hungary, which is still an enemy country, is such as to offer any security for law and order.

Colonel WEDGWOOD

How is it that the only two Socialist Republics, Hungary and Russia, are the only places where the blockade is still fully maintained?
