HC Deb 14 July 1937 vol 326 c1237
12. Mr. Riley

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs how many petitions have been presented during the past five years by minorities in Europe to the Secretariat of the League of Nations; how many have been considered by the League Council; and how many have been successful and how many rejected?

Mr. Eden

The information requested by the hon. Member involves considerable research and I will communicate it to him as soon as the necessary investigation is completed.

Mr. Riley

Is the right hon. Gentleman not aware that over 400 petitions have been submitted by minorities, and that not more than 30 have reached the Council of the League?

Mr. Eden

I was not aware of all that. That is why I have to make research.
