HC Deb 13 July 1916 vol 84 c510
4. Mr. GEORGE TERRELL

asked the Under—Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if any steps have been taken by our Allies, or any of them, to give legislative effect to the recommendations of the recent Economic Conference in Paris?

Lord R. CECIL

So far as I am aware, none of the Allied Powers have yet introduced legislative measures to give effect to the recommendations of the Economic Conference at Paris. The resolutions passed at the Conference have been confirmed by the French Government.

Mr. TERRELL

May I ask the Noble Lord, in view of the great importance of this matter, and the great interest taken in it, whether, where effective legislative provisions are made, we shall be informed in this House?

Lord R. CECIL

I shall be very glad indeed to meet my hon. Friend in any way. I am not quite sure what it is he desires, but perhaps he will be good enough' to communicate with me privately.
