HC Deb 07 February 1949 vol 461 c2W
27. Mr. Astor

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if he will consider proposing an international agreement to protect the lives and legitimate pursuits of prelates of the Christian churches, in view of the political sanctions imposed on churches in Eastern Europe.

Mr. McNeil

My right hon. Friend naturally has every sympathy with the intention of this Question. He regrets, however, that he finds this suggestion impractical.
