HC Deb 19 June 1930 vol 240 c573
48. Mr. L'ESTRANGE MALONE

asked the Prime Minister the object for which Count Bethlen, Prime Minister of Hungary, has been invited to be the guest of His Majesty's Government?

The PRIME MINISTER

His Majesty's Governments have always declined to say why Government hospitality is or is not offered, and I am afraid I must adhere to this rule in the present instance.

Mr. MALONE

May we assume that this visit has no political significance?
