13. Mr. MALONEasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he has received a report from His Majesty's representative at Belgrade on the degree to which the Government of Yugoslavia is respecting, in the treatment of the national minorities within its frontiers, its obligations, which were undertaken under the terms of the Treaty of Sevres?
§ Sir A. CHAMBERLAINI am uncertain as to the Treaty to which the hon. Member refers. As he is no doubt aware, the main treaty with Turkey signed at Sevres on 10th August, 1920, never came into force. The subsidiary minorities Treaty signed at Sevres on the same day, which was subsequently annexed to the Treaty of Lausanne, was binding upon Greece and not Yugoslavia, while another treaty signed at Sevres on 10th August, 1920, related to Thrace and made no provision for the treatment of minorities in Yugoslavia.
