HC Deb 07 April 1938 vol 334 c536W
Captain Plugge

asked the Prime Minister whether he will consider the desirability of calling a conference of interested European countries to consider the most practical methods of dealing with the long-standing grievances of the Hungarian minorities in the countries surrounding Hungary, with a view to removing a cause of unrest which, under present circumstances, may have serious repercussions upon the peace of Europe?

Mr. Butler

As the House is aware, His Majesty's Government take an interest in all matters relating to minorities whose position is governed by treaties to which His Majesty's Government are a party. I am, however, not satisfied that in the present circumstances a conference on the lines contemplated by the hon. and gallant Member would be the best means of achieving the end which he has in view.
