HC Deb 27 April 1931 vol 251 cc1356-7
26. Sir K. WOOD

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether any application has been made by Finland to the League of Nations under the Treaty of Dorpat for the protection of Finnish nationals in Carelia and Ingria?

Mr. A. HENDERSON

As far as I am aware, no such application has yet been made.

Sir K. WOOD

Will the right hon. Gentleman make any inquiries?

Mr. HENDERSON

No, I do not think that this is a matter into which I should make inquiries.

Sir K. WOOD

Why does the right hon. Gentleman refuse to make any inquiries into this matter?
