HC Deb 25 March 1935 vol 299 cc1588-9
8. Mr. HALL-CAINE

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether the nations which have retired from the League of Nations continue to exercise any mandate which they originally held from the League of Nations?

The PRIME MINISTER

No country exercising a mandate has yet retired from the League of Nations. As regards the mandate exercised by Japan, whose notice of withdrawal will shortly mature, I would refer to the answer returned on the 18th March by my right hon. Friend the Lord Privy Seal to my hon. and gallant Friend the Member for the Isle of Wight (Captain P. Macdonald).
