HC Deb 11 April 1928 vol 162 cc1184-5
11. Lieut.-Commander KENWORTHY

asked the Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he has received any information to the effect that the Polish Government intends to demolish the Orthodox Cathedral at Warsaw; and whether representations have been made by His Majesty's Government to the Polish Government on the subject?

Mr. McNEILL

The answer to both parts of the question is in the negative.

Lieut. - Commander KENWORTHY

Has the hon. Gentleman any information that this cathedral is riot going to he demolished?

Mr. McNEILL

I know nothing on this subject at all, except that I saw in the Press the statement to which the hon. and gallant Member has referred.

Lieut. - Commander KENWORTHY

If the hon. Member finds later on that this is true, will the Government take some steps to prevent such acts of vandalism?

Mr. McNEILL

I think we shall have to wait until we know the facts before we consider what can be done.
