§ 4. Sir HARRY BRITTAINasked the Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he can make a statement as to the present position in Central and Eastern Europe with regard to the free passage of private goods wagons across the respective frontiers?
§ Mr. McCURDY (Joint Parliamentary Secretary to the Treasury)My hon. Friend (Mr. Cecil Harmsworth) regrets that he is unable to give the information required, and would suggest that it would be useless to obtain the information now, while the Conference at Genoa is attempting to deal comprehensively with the general question of transport in Central and Eastern Europe, with a view-to re-organising the whole system.
§ Sir H. BRITTAINIs it not a fact that an arrangement was made to carry this provision into effect on the 1st March, and what is the reason for the impossibility of finding out? This has been holding up the whole trade of Central Europe more than anything else.
§ Mr. McCURDYThe hon. Member must put down a further question.
