HC Deb 05 July 1920 vol 131 cc984-5
42. Lord ROBERT CECIL

asked the Prime Minister whether the Polish Government have been invited, or are going to be invited, to attend the Spa Conference; and, if so, what are the subjects which they are to be asked to discuss, and will the Lithuanian and other Baltic Governments be also asked to attend?

Mr. BONAR LAW (Leader of the House)

The issue of invitations to the Spa Conference rests with the Belgian Government, subject to the expressed desire of the Allies. I understand that if any question affecting Poland arises, it is probable that the Polish and other Governments concerned will be asked to send representatives, but this depends on the agenda, which will be decided by the Conference itself.

Lord R. CECIL

Can the right hon. Gentleman say whether in point of fact the Polish Government have been invited, and, if so, whether he will suggest to our representatives that it would be very unfair for the Polish Government to be there unless the Lithuanian Government were there also?

Lieut. - Commander KENWORTHY

And the Russian Government?

Mr. BONAR LAW

I asked that question, and was told that they had not been specially invited.
