HC Deb 03 July 1939 vol 349 cc946-7W
Mr. Mander

asked the Prime Minister whether the Council of the League of Nations has been asked to sanction the cession to Turkey by France of the Sanjak of Alexandretta, now held under French mandate?

Mr. Butler

So far as my Noble Friend is aware, this matter, regarding which an agreement was reached as recently as 23rd June between France and Turkey, has not yet been referred to the Council of the League of Nations.
