HC Deb 18 April 1934 vol 288 cc974-5W
Mr. RHYS DAVIES

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether his attention has been drawn to the continued infractions of the minorities treaties by the Polish Government when dealing with the Ukrainian minority; whether any petitions have been received by the League of Nations from Ukrainians during the past six months; and whether His Majesty's Government will take any action under the provisions of the treaty between the British Empire, other countries, and Poland, which was signed at Versailles on 28th June, 1919, and came into force on 10th January, 1920, and the various resolutions which have subsequently been adopted by the Council of the League of Nations concerning the treatment of minorities?

Sir J. SIMON

No petitions in connection with the Ukrainian minority in Poland have been circulated by the League during the last six months, but one such petition was circulated in September, 1933, and is being treated in accordance with the usual League procedure.
