HC Deb 18 April 1923 vol 162 c2018
2. Lieut.-Commander KENWORTHY

asked the Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he has now ascertained whether the Polish Government intends to demolish the Orthodox Cathedral at Warsaw?

Mr. McNEILL

I understand that the demolition of the building will be begun in May.

Lieut. - Commander KENWORTHY

How is it that when I questioned the hon. Gentleman on this matter last week he had no information? Are the Government going to make any representations against this act of vandalism?

Mr. McNEILL

The reason is that I had no information, because it did not appear to be a matter with which we were concerned, but I showed my anxiety to meet the hon. and gallant Member by obtaining the information.

Lieut. - Commander KENWORTHY

Are we now taking any steps to make representations?

Mr. McNEILL

No, certainly not.
