HC Deb 24 June 1931 vol 254 c417
4. Mr. BEN RILEY

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he can give any information with regard to two petitions sent to the secretary to the League of Nations in April of this year by two natives of Macedonia named Andoff and Minoff, respectively, who were on a visit last year to their native town of Prilep, in Macedonia, and from which, as they allege, they were expelled contrary to the provisions of the Treaty of St. Germain; if so, whether he can state if these two petitions have been declared receivable; and, if not, the reason given for such decision?

Mr. DALTON

My right hon. Friend has received no information as to the submission of these two petitions to the Secretariat of the League of Nations, but he is making inquiries.

Mr. RILEY

Is a reply expected soon?

MR. DALTON

We may not get a reply very soon, because there is a certain regular procedure which has to be gone through, but as soon as we get a reply I will let my hon. Friend know.

Forward to
