HC Deb 21 June 1920 vol 130 cc1744-5
50. Sir H. BRITTAIN

asked the Prime Minister whether he has any information with regard to the present situation at Teschen?

Mr. BONAR LAW

The situation in Teschen is troubled, owing to the apparently growing local opposition to the solution of the territorial claims of Poland and Czecho-Slovakia by plebiscite. The Ambassadors' Conference at Paris is actively engaged at this moment in the endeavour to bring about an amicable settlement.

Sir H. BRITTAIN

Has Czecho-Slovakia accepted the idea of a plebiscite, whereas Poland has refused?

Mr. BONAR LAW

I think both have accepted.

Lord R. CECIL

From whom is the opposition now coming?

Mr. BONAR LAW

I do not think it is coming entirely from Poland. I do not know.
