HC Deb 04 May 1938 vol 335 cc857-8
31. Mr. Vyvyan Adams

asked the Prime Minister whether he will make representations to the Council of the League of Nations, in accordance with Article 11 of the Covenant, to the effect that the recent German interference with the domestic affairs of the Republic of Czechoslovakia constitute a threat to the peace of Europe, to which His Majesty's Government cannot undertake to remain indifferent?

The Prime Minister

I do not think that the course which my hon. Friend suggests would lead to any useful result.

Mr. Adams

Is the Prime Minister aware that, if the Henlein demands were granted, the independence of Czechoslovakia would be effectively destroyed?

The Prime Minister

That may or may not be the case, but it does not affect my answer.

Mr. Adams

Is my right hon. Friend satisfied that Berlin really desires a peaceful and reasonable settlement of the Sudeten Deutsch question?
