§ Mr. R. DAVIESasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether the constitutional rights of the majority in the Memel landtag are being respected; and whether the formation of any police forces other than those laid down in the Statute will be forbidden?
§ Viscount CRANBORNEAs will have been apparent from the reply given to my hon. and gallant Friend the Member for Chippenham (Captain Cazalet) on 9th December, a Directorate representative of the Landtag is now in office in the Memel territory. This Directorate has now received a vote of confidence from the Landtag. As regards the second half of this question, my right hon. Friend's information does not lead him to suppose that any forces of police whose existence would be inconsistent with the Statute have been or are being established.
§ Mr. MANDERasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether, in view of the improved situation in Memel and with a view to still further improvement, he will consider the advisability of suggesting, in the most appropriate form, to the Lithuanian Government the desirability of some act of clemency to those now in prison as a result of the recent conspiracy trial?
§ Viscount CRANBORNEYes, Sir.
