HC Deb 10 April 1940 vol 359 c545
6. Mr. Mander

asked the Prime Minister to what extent members of, and the permanent staff of, the League of Nations will give assistance to Finland for the purposes of reconstruction; and whether he will give the terms of the Finnish Note to the League of 21st March on the subject?

Mr. Butler

I am arranging for the Note to be circulated in the Official Report. The Secretary-General has informed League members of the request of the Finnish Government for the continuation of material and humanitarian assistance. He has also expressed the willingness of the League Secretariat to continue to give all the assistance in their power. The reply of His Majesty's Government to the Secretary-General will follow the lines of the Prime Minister's statement on 19th March.

Following is the Note:

Letter from the Delegate of Finland to the Secretary-General of the League of Nations. Geneva, 21st March, 1940.
