HC Deb 10 September 1941 vol 374 cc160-1
4. Mr. Mander

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he can inform the House of the progress being made in the negotiations between representatives of Poland and Czechoslovakia; and whether he is using his good offices in promoting an agreement?

Mr. Eden

I have no statement to make on a matter which is the primary concern of the two Allied Governments, but my hon. Friend will recall that His Majesty's Government welcomed the Polish-Czechoslovak declaration of November last concerning the future policy which the two Governments intended to pursue.

Mr. Mander

While appreciating what my right hon. Friend has said, may I ask whether he is keeping in friendly contact with the two parties on this subject and doing everything that he feels he can?

Mr. Eden

Naturally, my good offices are always available, but I think we must allow the two Governments to speak for themselves.

Mr. George Griffiths

Hear, hear. There are too many "Nosey Parkers."
