HC Deb 16 February 1938 vol 331 c1861
8. Mr. Mander

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he has any statement to make with reference to the speech made by the Swiss Minister, M. Motta, before the Swiss Federal Parliament in December concerning the relations of Switzerland with the League of Nations; and whether, in view of the reluctance of Switzerland to carry out her full obligations under the Covenant, he will consider the advisability of proposing that the headquarters of the League should be moved to some other country?

Mr. Eden

Mr. Eden
