§ Mr. HUNTasked the Prime Minister when an opportunity would be given for considering the question whether the Convention of London should or should not be ratified?
§ The PRIME MINISTERI will consult with the Secretary for Foreign Affairs, and perhaps the hon. Member will repeat his question at a later date.
§ Earl WINTERTONMay I ask whether, in view of the fact that, for good or evil, this Convention profoundly affects the maritime interests of this country, the right hon. Gentleman will undertake that ratifications shall not be exchanged before the House has an opportunity of considering the matter?
§ The PRIME MINISTERThat undertaking has already been given.
