HC Deb 28 October 1920 vol 133 c1927
36. Mr. JESSON

asked the Prime Minister whether, having regard to the fact that much of the present labour unrest is due to the present high cost of living, and that the cost of living is much higher in several other allied countries than here, he will consider the advisability of our representatives upon the League of Nations taking steps to have this question discussed at the forthcoming conference with a view to joint action being taken to increase the world's production of food and other necessaries of life?

The PRIME MINISTER

The Agenda Paper, which is a very heavy one, for the first meeting of the Assembly of the League of Nations, has already been drawn up and circulated; but there is no doubt that the important question raised by my hon. Friend will he actively present in the minds of the various representatives during their deliberations.
