HC Deb 16 April 1923 vol 162 c1661
36. Mr. F. GRAY

asked the Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he can inform the House of the present state of affairs in Memel; and whether the unrest and disturbances have arisen as a result of taxation to meet the cost of occupation by the Allies?

Mr. McNEILL

According to the information of His Majesty's Government there has been a general strike in Memel, but this has now ended and work has been completely resumed. I have no information confirming the suggestion made by the hon. Member in the last part of the question.
