HC Deb 15 July 1920 vol 131 cc2573-4
55. Mr. HOGGE

asked the Lord Privy Seal whether he will state precisely what are the powers possessed by the British representatives on the permanent advisory commission for military, naval, and air questions set up by the League of Nations, in the matter of communicating the military, naval, and air resources of this country to the commission and of what general nature are the military and naval secrets which those representatives are not permitted to divulge?

Mr. BONAR LAW

I cannot add anything to the answer which I gave on the 8th July to a question by my hon. Friend the Member for Twickenham.

Captain W. BENN

Are we to understand that we have certain naval and military secrets which we are saving up for the next war?

Mr. BONAR LAW

Any naval secrets we may have we are holding up in the hope there will be no next war.
