HC Deb 30 March 1936 vol 310 cc1602-3
4. Mr. RHYS DAVIES

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs what action the Danzig Senate has taken, particularly with regard to the protection of national associations, to the alteration in the penal code, and to the freedom of the Press, in pursuance of the recommendations of the League of Nations Council and in accordance with the promises made by the President of the Senate?

Mr. EDEN

On 20th February the Danzig Senate issued four decrees by which the legislation of the free city has been amended on the points mentioned in the hon. Member's question in the manner recommended by the Council of the League of Nations. I will arrange for translations of these decrees to be placed in the Library of the House as soon as possible.

Mr. DAVIES

Is the right hon. Gentleman satisfied that all these decrees issued by the Senate are being implemented?

Mr. EDEN

That is not a matter for me.
