HC Deb 21 March 1907 vol 171 c848
*MR. REES

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether the instructions to be given to the representatives of Great Britain at the Hague Conference will be previously communicated to the House.

MR. RUNCIMAN

It will be desirable to follow the precedent of the the previous Conference, when it was stated that any public announcement beforehand of the instructions given to the British Delegates was inexpedient.
