§ 46. Mr. MARRIOTTasked the Prime Minister whether he is in a position to give the House any further information in reference to the announcement issued on 18th August that each Dominion is to have the right to nominate a visiting or resident Minister in London to be a member of the Imperial War Cabinet; whether any nominations have yet been received; and when the meetings of the Imperial War Cabinet as thus reconstituted will be held?
§ Mr. BONAR LAWNo resident Ministers have yet been formally nominated by the Dominion Governments to act as regular members of the Imperial War Cabinet. Sir R. Borden has, however, provisionally arranged for the attendance of a Canadian representative at any meetings of the Imperial War Cabinet that may take place, and General Smuts is available as a representative of South Africa. In the case of Australia, the Prime Minister is still in this country, and able to attend meetings of the Imperial War Cabinet in person. Several meetings of the Imperial War Cabinet have been held since the conclusion of the last plenary session.
