HC Deb 22 October 1941 vol 374 cc1757-8
6. Mr. Riley

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs the nature of any changes in the relations between His Majesty's Government and the Government of the Emperor of Abyssinia; and when he will be able to make a statement as to His Majesty's Government's intentions regarding the future government of Abyssinia?

Mr. Eden

I have nothing to add at the moment to the Reply I gave to my hon. Friend the Member for Derby (Mr. Noel-Baker) on 1st October.

Mr. Riley

Is not the right hon. Gentleman aware that there is anxiety about our future attitude to Abyssinia? Can he reply to that point?

Mr. Eden

I have explained what our policy is. What the hon. Member wishes has already been clearly defined in the House.
