HC Deb 29 March 1920 vol 127 c863
26. Lord ROBERT CECIL

asked the Prime Minister whether it is the policy of the British Government to press for the earliest possible meeting of the assembly of the League of Nations; and if so, whether they have formed any opinion as to when that meeting can take place.

The PRIME MINISTER

I have not yet had an opportunity of discussing this matter with my right hon. Friend, our representative on the Council of the League of Nations, but I hope to do so shortly. The time and place of meeting of the Assembly is, of course, a matter for the Council to decide, and I will ask my right hon. Friend whether the matter is to be discussed at a forthcoming meeting of the Council.

Lord R. CECIL

Will my right hon. Friend give an answer if I put another question down for the first day after the Recess?

The PRIME MINISTER

Yes, Sir. I think the Council of the League will meet here in the course of the next few days.
