HC Deb 04 December 1934 vol 295 c1403
26. Mr. MANDER

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he will state the present situation in the Memel territory; and whether the present Government there is adhering to the terms of the Statute of Memel to which this country was a party?

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

The latest development is that the Directorate formed last July under the presidency of Monsieur Reisgys resigned on the 1st December. A new Directorate is in process of formation, and until it has been formed, and until the Diet has had an opportunity of expressing confidence in it, no reply can be given to the second part of the question.
