HC Deb 25 March 1936 vol 310 cc1209-10
6. Mr. DAY

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he can make a statement with reference to the political agreement which has been reached between Italy, Austria, and Hungary?

Mr. EDEN

I have received from His Majesty's Ambassador at Rome the text of Protocols which were signed at Rome between the Italian, Austrian and Hungarian Governments on 23rd March. The text of these documents has been published in to-day's Press.

Mr. DAY

Will the right hon. Gentleman say when the agreement is to begin?

Mr. THORNE

Are the agreements in question military agreements?

Mr. EDEN

I have no information beyond what has appeared in the Press, and what I have stated.
