HC Deb 06 August 1940 vol 363 c57W
Mr. Sorensen

asked the Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he has any information respecting the staff of the League of Nations; whether its office still remains at Geneva; and what is the position of M. Avenol?

Mr. Butler

The staff of the Secretariat of the League has recently been cut down both by the suppression of posts and through resignations. A reduced staff is carrying on its work at Geneva as far as circumstances permit. M. Avenol continues to occupy the position of Secretary-General.
