HC Deb 22 February 1911 vol 21 c1903
Mr. GRETTON

asked the Prime Minister if the Declaration of London will be formally submitted to the Board of Admiralty for approval before it is brought before the forthcoming Imperial Conference?

The PRIME MINISTER

No, Sir; I see no necessity for such reference.

Mr. LEE

May I ask the right hon. Gentleman whether, in view of the widespread and genuine uneasiness in regard to the effect of the Declaration, he will reconsider his decision, and cause the provisions of the Declaration to be laid before the Board of Admiralty for full examination and formal report?
