§ 5. Lieut.-Colonel Sir SAMUEL HOAREasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether the Allies are still in a state of war with the Magyars; and, if so, what steps they are taking to compel them to evacuate the Allied territory that they have occupied and to reduce and disarm their army?
Mr. HARMSWORTHThe reply to the first part of the question is in the affirmative.
On 14th June the Council of the Principal Allied and Associated Powers, assembled in Paris, addressed to the Hungarian Soviet Government at Buda Pesth a telegram describing the frontiers permanently dividing Hungary from Czechoslovakia and Roumania, and requiring the Hungarian Government to cease hostilities immediately, and to withdraw their forces without avoidable delay within the national frontiers laid, down by the Peace Conference.
Negotiations are still proceeding between the various States concerned, and the Allied Governments are carefully watching the situation in conjunction with their military advisers.
§ Sir S. HOAREHave the Magyar Government taken any steps to actually and practically withdraw their troops?
§ Sir S. HOAREDoes that mean that the army is actually withdrawing?
Lieut.-Colonel A. MURRAYAre the Allies giving any assistance to the Czechoslovaks in the way of munitions and supply?
