HC Deb 22 March 1920 vol 127 cc26-7
31. Mr. AUBREY HERBERT

asked when the Assembly of the League of Nations is to meet?

The PRIME MINISTER

No date has yet been fixed for the meeting of the Assembly of the League of Nations.

Lord R. CECIL

Is it part of the policy of the British Government to press for an early meeting?

The PRIME MINISTER

I should like to confer with my right hon. Friend our representative on the League of Nations before I can answer that question.

Mr. BILLING

Before the right hon. Gentleman does so, will he give the House an opportunity of debating the question of the League of Nations?

The PRIME MINISTER

That is entirely in the hands of the House. There will be a Vote, I understand, and if it is generally desired that the Vote shall be debated the Government will certainly put it down for discussion.
