HC Deb 23 February 1933 vol 274 c1922W
Mr. MANDER

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if his attention has been called to the fact that 32 military aeroplanes were recently flown from Italy to Hungary and there taken to pieces and hidden; whether he has made inquiries into the matter; and what action it is proposed to take?

Sir J. SIMON

My attention has been called to statements in the foreign Press alleging the despatch of aeroplanes such as is described by my hon. Friend. A semi-official denial of this allegation has been issued by the Hungarian Government. In this instance, therefore, I do not consider that any special action is called for on the part of His Majesty's Government.
