§ 5. Professor Savoryasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he will consider the insertion of a clause in the Treaty of Peace for the protection of the Hungarian minority in sub-Carpathian Ruthenia.
Mr. Noel-BakerNone of the Peace Treaties will deal with sub-Carpathian Ruthenia. In any case, as I explained in answer to my hon. and gallant Friend the Member for Wycombe (Flight-Lieutenant Haire) on 3rd July, the rights of minorities, here as elsewhere, will he governed by the provisions of the Charter of the United Nations.
§ Professor SavoryIs not the right hon. Gentleman aware that the whole of the male population was rounded up in the middle of the night and forced to sign a declaration that they wanted to be incorporated with the Soviet Union, and can nothing be done to prevent this abuse of power?
Mr. Noel-BakerI have had no such information, but if the hon. Member will let me have it I will inquire into the matter.
