HC Deb 01 July 1931 vol 254 cc1249-50
1. Mr. MANDER

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if he will consider the advisability of proposing at the next session of the Council of the League of Nations that the question as to whether Poland, as a result of her failure to carry out the decision of the Council of Ambassadors in 1923, which granted her certain rights over Eastern Galicia, has caused that decision to lapse, should be submitted to the Permanent Court of International Justice?

The UNDER-SECRETARY of STATE for FOREIGN AFFAIRS (Mr. Dalton)

My right hen. Friend does not think that a reference of this question to the Permanent Court would be advantageous at the present time.

Mr. MANDER

Have negotiations been resumed between the Polish Government and the Ukrainian representatives?

Mr. DALTON

We have not had any specific information on that subject since the last meeting of the Committee of Three, of which my right hon. Friend is chairman. But as the hon. Member knows, he is keeping a careful watch on any developments in connection with this question.

Mr. HANNON

Have not the Polish Government every desire to settle this question satisfactorily?

Mr. DALTON

I hope that is so.
