5. Mr. BARNES

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if the Government intend to proceed with the ratification- of the Convention of London; and, if so, when a proposal with that object in view will be submitted to the House?

I hope it may be possible to pass Prize Court legislation which will enable the Declaration of London to be ratified next Session.
