HC Deb 02 November 1938 vol 340 c188
11. Mr. Vyvyan Adams

asked the Prime Minister whether he has any statement to make about the condition of affairs in Danzig?

2. Mr. Mander

asked the Prime Minister whether he has any statement to make with reference to the situation in Danzig; and what consideration was given to the subject at the Assembly of the League of Nations?

Mr. Butler

I have no special statement to make with reference to the situation in Danzig. The High Commissioner for the League of Nations in Danzig came to Geneva for the meeting of the Council in September. Opportunity was taken for him to meet the members of the Committee of Three appointed by the Council to follow the situation in Danzig, and to make a report on the situation in the Free City.

Mr. Noel-Baker

Is it true that a system of conscription has been introduced in Danzig and that the High Commissioner has made a strong protest against it?

Mr. Butler

I should want notice of that question.
