HC Deb 08 February 1937 vol 320 cc23-4
43. Mr. Bellenger

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs what was the nature of the guarantees regarding the Yugoslavian frontiers given in the recent Anglo-Italian agreement?

Viscount Cranborne

The Anglo-Italian Declaration provides for no guarantees in respect of the Yugoslav or any other frontiers. It merely states that the two Governments disclaim any desire to modify or, so far as they are concerned, to see modified the status quo as regards national sovereignty of territories in the Mediterranean area.

Mr. Bellenger

Has the Noble Lord information whether the Italian Government have given any definition of this Agreement to the Yugoslavian Government since it was signed?

Viscount Cranborne

Not so far as I am aware.
