§ Major Stourtonasked the Prime Minister whether, in view of the declaration of Slovakia as an independent state, support will be given by His Majesty's Government to Ruthenia to decide her own future by applying the principle of self-determination in the spirit of the Munich Agreement?
§ The Prime MinisterAs my hon. and gallant Friend will have seen from the statement which I made at the end of Question Time, the status of Ruthenia is apparently being settled directly between the Ruthenian authorities and the Hungarian Government. I do not think that any useful purpose would be served by intervention on the part of His Majesty's Government.
