asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs what cases have arisen, under Article 20 of the Covenant of the League of Nations, in which members declare that if before becoming a member of the League they have undertaken any obligations inconsistent with the terms of the Covenant they will take immediate steps to procure release from such obligations; if this affects this country in any way; and if he is satisfied that other members of the League have fulfilled their duties in the matter?

I know of no cases of the nature mentioned by the hon. Member. The rest of the question does not, therefore, arise.
