HC Deb 18 March 1920 vol 126 c2374
52. Sir A. SHIRLEY BENN

asked whether the International Commission on Finance has yet been appointed by the Council of the League of Nations and of whom it consists?

53. Mr. HURD

asked what are to be the subjects of inquiry of the International Commission of Finance appointed by the League of Nations; and when will be its first meeting?

The PRIME MINISTER

The International Conference in question has not yet been constituted; I cannot, therefore, state when it will hold its first meeting. The Conference will have the task of studying the financial crisis, and of looking for the means of remedying it and of mitigating the dangerous consequences arising from it.

Mr. BILLING

When will this House have an opportunity of discussing the question of the finance of the British representation on the League of Nations?

The PRIME MINISTER

That question ought to be addressed to the Leader of the House. It will arise on the Vote.
