HC Deb 14 April 1937 vol 322 c985
9. Mr. Arthur Henderson

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he will make a statement on the recent Agreement made between Italy and Jugoslavia?

Mr. Eden

I do not think I could properly undertake to make a statement on an agreement to which His Majesty's Government are not party.

Mr. Henderson

Is this Treaty in any way adverse, in the view of the Foreign Secretary, to the Mediterranean policy of His Majesty's Government?

Mr. Eden

All I can say is that all agreements, in so far as they are designed to further amicable relations, are naturally welcomed.

Mr. Henderson

Is this Agreement in any way inimical to the Anglo-Italian Declaration of 2nd January?

Mr. Riley

Has the right hon. Gentleman satisfied himself that this Agreement will not affect adversely our trade relations with the two countries?

Mr. Eden

I would like notice of that question.
