HC Deb 31 July 1931 vol 255 c2622
13. Mr. L'ESTRANGE MALONE

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he has considered the resolution, signed by 81 Members of the British Parliament, asking him to put forward a resolution for the establishment of a Permanent Minorities Commission at the forthcoming meeting of the League of Nations Assembly; and what are the intentions of His Majesty's Government on this matter?

Mr. A. HENDERSON

I have just seen the text of the resolution to which my honourable Friend refers. His Majesty's Government in the United Kingdom are in sympathy with the proposal for the establishment of a Permanent Minorities Commission as an eventual solution of the question of minorities procedure, but I cannot give an undertaking in advance that the United Kingdom Delegation at the forthcoming Assembly will take the initiative in putting forward such a proposal.
