HC Deb 24 March 1937 vol 321 cc2880-1
25. Mr. Riley

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether, in view of the better relations created by the treaty of January, 1937, between Yugoslavia and Bulgaria, His Majesty's Minister in Belgrade will make representations in favour of an amnesty for political prisoners in the Macedonian regions of Yugoslavia?

Mr. Eden

I do not think that this is a matter in which His Majesty's Government could intervene in the sense suggested.

Mr. Riley

Has the right hon. Gentleman any information as to whether the Yugoslav Government have such a mandate under consideration?

Mr. Eden

I have no information as to the need or the possibility of such a mandate.
