HC Deb 18 April 1934 vol 288 c975W
Mr. RHYS DAVIES

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether His Majesty's Government have been informed of the details of the new Reform of the Constitution Bill, introduced by the Polish Government, which deprives many Ukrainians of their constitutional rights and prevent any Ukrainian from sitting in the Senate; 'and whether, seeing that this action is contrary to the conditions laid down by the decision of the conference of Ambassadors of 15th March, 1923, by which Poland was only allowed to remain in occupation of Eastern Galicia provided that an autonomous regime was set up, he will state whether His Majesty's Government intend to take any steps in this matter?

Sir J. SIMON

I am aware that a Bill for the Reform of the Constitution has been introduced by the Polish Government, but its terms are still under discussion in the Polish Parliament, and the second part of the question therefore does not 'arise. The hon. Member should not assume, however, that I admit the accuracy of the statements contained in his question.
