§ 22. Mr. L'ESTRANGE MALONEasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether the Council of the League of Nations, at their meeting in May, 1930, examined the petition of M. Ochmann, a lawyer of Upper Silesia; if he will state the nature of his complaint; and what action, if any, was taken by the British members present?
Mr. A. HENDERSONMonsieur Ochmann's complaint is that the permission to plead before the Lubliniec Kreis Court previously accorded to him by the Polish authorities was subsequently withdrawn without due cause. The Polish Government have offered to institute an inquiry so that the matter may be considered at the next session of the Council of the League of Nations; and the Council agreed to this course.
§ Mr. MALONEWill the right hon. Gentleman say whether certain evidence was suppressed by the Secretary-General of the League, and will the right hon. Gentleman, as a member of the Council, call for the publication of this evidence, so that the matter may be treated with fairness and impartiality?
