The PRIME MINISTER

The procedure at the Conference is still under consideration.

Mr. LOCKER-LAMPSON

Will the right hon. Gentleman consider the question of inviting the Leader of the Opposition and the Leader of the Nationalist party to be present at the initial ceremony of the Imperial Conference?

The PRIME MINISTER

I would like notice.

Mr. HAMERSLEY

asked whether His Majesty's Government has formulated a list of subjects to be submitted for the consideration of the Imperial Conference to be held in London in May of this year; and, if so, whether such list of subjects has been forwarded to the respective governments of the dominions overseas, and has His Majesty's Government received from the governments of the said dominions or any of them a list of subjects to be submitted by them for consideration at the said Conference; if so, from which governments and what are the subjects proposed?

Mr. HARCOURT

Certain subjects have been suggested by His Majesty's Government and communicated to the Dominion Governments. These subjects and the subjects suggested by these governments will be seen from the papers as to the agenda of the Conference which will be laid this week.
