HC Deb 14 April 1931 vol 251 c23
44. Mr. MILLS

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if he has received any report upon the treatment of women and girls in the Ukraine areas of Poland; and, if so, whether any representations have been made to the League of Nations by His Majesty's Government on the subject?

Mr. DALTON

Allegations on this subject are contained in some of the petitions sent to the League of Nations, which, as my right hon. Friend has previously stated, are now under examination.

Mr. MILLS

Has the hon. Gentleman's attention been called to the fact that there have been reports of mutilation of women and girls by these Poles?

Mr. DALTON

As I have already stated, a number of allegations have been made in the various petitions submitted. My right hon. Friend is chairman of a committee which is going to investigate whether these allegations are true.
