HC Deb 10 March 1932 vol 262 c1992W
Dr. SALTER

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether a petition addressed to the Secretary-General of the League of Nations, on 14th January, 1932, by representatives of the Bulgarian minority in Jugoslavia has been brought to his notice; and whether he can give any information regarding the position taken by the League of Nations on the question of this petition?

Mr. EDEN

I assume that the hon. Member refers to a petition dated 7th January, a copy of which has been circulated to His Majesty's Government by the Secretary-General of the League of Nations, drawing attention to the situation in Southern Jugoslavia, with particular reference to certain questions of a religious nature in that area. It is understood that this petition is now being examined by a committee of three appointed by the Council of the League of Nations in accordance with the existing rules of procedure.
