§ 19. Mr. RHYS DAVIESasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether in view of the fact that the establishment of an autonomous regime in Eastern Galicia was one of the conditions laid down by the Conference of Ambassadors on 15th March, 1923, in determining that Eastern Galicia should be made a part of Poland, and that the law on the autonomy of Eastern Galicia, passed by the Polish Sejm on 26th September, 1922, has riot yet been put into operation, His 8 Majesty's Government has made, or contemplates making, any representations to the Polish Government on the necessity that it should carry out this obligation?
§ The SECRETARY of STATE for FOREIGN AFFAIRS (Sir John Simon)I must repeat what was stated by the then Foreign Secretary, Mr. Henderson, on the 29th of April, 1931, that it must not be assumed that the accuracy of the statement contained in the first part of the hon. Gentleman's question is necessarily admitted. At the same time. His Majesty's Government, as a party to the decision of the Conference of Ambassadors, naturally continue to be interested in the regime established in Eastern Galicia. I do not, however, consider that in existing circumstances formal representations to the effect suggested are called for.
§ Mr. DAVIESMay we take it that this matter is going forward towards a solution on the lines that we desire, or is it at a deadlock?
§ Sir J. SIMONNo, the matter is receiving attention.
