HC Deb 18 May 1938 vol 336 cc380-1
11. Mr. Vyvyan Adams

asked the Prime Minister whether His Majesty's Government have recently made any representations to the Italian Government concerning the treatment of German and other minorities in the South Tyrol and other parts of Italy?

Mr. Butler

No, Sir.

Mr. Adams

May I ask my hon. Friend whether the treatment of these minorities is noticeably better than that of the Sudeten-Deutsche in Czechoslovakia?

Mr. Thorne

Can the Minister give us any reason why the Germans are not carrying on intensive propaganda in this particular place, as they are in others?

12. Mr. V. Adams

asked the Prime Minister whether His Majesty's Government have recently made any representations to the Polish Government concerning the treatment of German and other minorities in Poland?

Mr. Butler

No, Sir.

Mr. Adams

Is not the principle involved the same as that of the Sudeten-Deutsche in Czechoslovakia?

Mr. Butler

I do not think the problems are identical.

Sir H. Croft

Have the Polish Government made any representations in regard to the Scottish and Welsh minorities in this country?
