HC Deb 16 March 1932 vol 263 c257
1. Colonel WEDGWOOD

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he can give the House any information as to the present position of the appeal to the League of Nations by the Ukrainian minority in Poland?

The SECRETARY of STATE for FOREIGN AFFAIRS (Sir John Simon)

As the right hon. Gentleman is aware, a number of separate petitions have been submitted to the Council of the League of Nations on behalf of the Ukrainian Minority in Poland, and I am not clear to which of these petitions he refers. The result of the examination of the petitions concerning the events of 1930 is shown in the minutes of the Council meeting on the 30th of January last, which are available in the Library of the House. Petitions regarding a law introduced by the Polish Government to assist colonisation in certain Ukrainian districts are being dealt with under the ordinary procedure.
