HC Deb 10 November 1938 vol 341 c314W
Mr. Riley

asked the Prime Minister whether, in connection with Article 7 of the Munich Agreement regarding the right to opt from one territory into another, there is a provision for the setting up of a juridical tribunal which will be empowered to deal with the right of optants to be compensated for any property which it may be impossible for them to transfer to the territory to which they opt; and whether any such tribunal will be set up to act as a court of appeal in the case of disputes?

The Prime Minister

Article 7 of the Munich Agreement laid down that the details of the option should be determined by a German-Czechoslovak Commission. I understand that the arrangements to be made in this matter are now under consideration by the German and Czechoslovak representatives on the commission. I am unable to say how the points raised by the hon. Member are likely to be dealt with.
