§ 76. Mr. Manderasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he is aware that the Nazi senate of Danzig has decided to introduce into the Free State 537 the racial legislation that is in force in Germany; and whether he will state what action the Committee of Three of the League of Nations Council propose to take in the matter?
§ Mr. ManderWill the Noble Lord consider making inquiries into this very important development?
§ Viscount CranborneNo, Sir; under the procedure of the League it is for the High Commissioner to make his own report if he thinks fit.
§ Mr. ManderAm I to understand that no information has been supplied on this point up to date?
§ Viscount CranborneNo; not to my knowledge.
§ Sir Ronald RossWhich Free State does the hon. Member mean?
§ Miss WilkinsonSeeing that the Foreign Office never took any action on any information which it received from the previous High Commissioner, can it now contemplate taking action on any report by the present High Commissioner?
§ Viscount CranborneI think the hon. Lady does not quite understand the procedure.
§ Miss WilkinsonDo I not?
§ Viscount CranborneIt is not for the Foreign Office to take action; it is for the Council to take action.
§ Miss WilkinsonIs it not the job of the Foreign Office occasionally to be supplied with information about something that is going on in the world somewhere?
