§ Mr. MANDERasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs from which particular minorities, respectively, in Yugoslavia the 10 petitions presented to the League of Nations in 1930 emanated; and what action was taken thereon?
§ Mr. DALTONOf the 10 petitions emanating from Yugoslavia in 1930, which were held to be receivable, one related to the situation of persons of Albanian origin in Yugoslavia, five to the treatment of persons of Hungarian origin, one concerned the situation of the
2418WLondon Delivery price, and the description of each kind of coal purchased within the last 12 months by His Majesty's Office of Works, together with the approximate quantity purchased of each variety.
§ Mr. LANSBURYThe information desired by my hon. Friend is as follows:
German association Deutsches Haus at Celje, in Yugoslavia, and two the position of the Bulgarian-speaking population in Serb Macedonia. The remaining petition arose from the refusal of the Yugoslav Government to renew the passports of the signatories of the two last-named petitions. All these petitions were examined and dismissed by a committee of three appointed by the Council of the League of Nations. The existing procedure does not provide for the publication of the reasons for which petitions are dismissed.
