HC Deb 07 May 1940 vol 360 c1059W
Mr. Parker

asked the Prime Minister whether His Majesty's Government have pronounced in favour of allowing the Austrian people to decide their own political future for themselves when the war ends; and whether complete impartiality is shown towards Socialists, Monarchists and all groups of refugees who are co-operating with us in the Allied war effort?

Mr. Butler

I would refer the hon. Member to the statement made by the Prime Minister in a broadcast address of 25th November, in which he said that we sought to establish a Europe in which each country should have the unfettered right to choose its own internal form of Government. The answer to the second part of the Question is in the affirmative.
