HC Deb 21 November 1917 vol 99 c1184
50. Mr. LYNCH

asked the Prime Minister whether the change in the French Government has modified or will modify either the terms of the constitution of the Supreme War Council or the chances of the agreement being ratified as it now stands; and, if so, whether he will indicate what steps he proposes to take in consequence of these events and in view of future possibilities of a like nature either here or in France?

Mr. BONAR LAW

The answer to the first part of the question is in the negative; the second part, therefore, does not arise.

57. Mr. T. DAVIES

asked if it is still the intention to hold the promised inter-Allied Conference, seeing that a Supreme Council is to be set up for the conduct of military affairs; and whether the Conference will discuss and decide military as well as political questions affecting the Allied countries?

Mr. BONAR LAW

The answer is in the affirmative. As the House is aware, the inter-Allied Conference was arranged long before the creation of the Supreme War Council was decided upon.

Mr. D. MASON

When will the Conference be held?

Mr. BONAR LAW

I think it is some day next week.
