HC Deb 16 November 1932 vol 270 cc1107-8
4. Mr. RHYS DAVIES

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs what is now the position of the Ukrainian petition sent from Lvov in November, 1931, concerning the harsh treatment meted out to Ukrainian political prisoners by the Polish police; whether the committee of three has already held any meetings to deal with this petition; and, if so, with what results?

The PRIME MINISTER

The petition is still being examined by a committee of three. As His Majesty's Government are not represented on this particular committee, I regret that I am not in a position to answer the second part of the question.

Mr. DAVIES

Do I take it that, though our Government is not represented on the committee of three, we shall be able to secure information in this House on the work of that committee?

The PRIME MINISTER

I will communicate with my right hon. Friend and see what it is possible to do.
