HC Deb 09 June 1932 vol 266 c2114
70. Colonel WEDGWOOD

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he can obtain any information from His Majesty's Minister at Bucharest, or through the League of Nations, as to the torturing by the police of the Jew Samson Broazkin?

Mr. EDEN

I have received no official confirmation of this allegation but my right hon. Friend is instructing His Majesty's Minister at Bucharest to furnish him with a report.

Lieut.-Commander AGNEW

Does not the hon. Gentleman consider that the putting down of a question regarding the treatment of individual foreign nationals is a waste of money?

Mr. EDEN

We have a joint responsibility for minorities in certain countries under the Peace Treaties.
