HC Deb 09 December 1920 vol 135 cc2403-4
39. Mr. CLYNES

asked the Prime Minister why it is necessary to devise machinery in accordance with the law and practice of the constitution, in order to give effect to the decisions of the Washington conference on maternity, in view of the fact that the provisions of the Convention merely require legislative enactment?

The PRIME MINISTER

I cannot add anything to the reply which I gave to my right hon. Friend on the 6th December, as the matter is still under consideration.
