HC Deb 04 April 1921 vol 140 c24
26. Sir J. NORTON-GRIFFITHS

asked the Prime Minister whether the formation of an Empire Council is to be considered at the forthcoming Imperial Conference?

The PRIME MINISTER

No, Sir. No Imperial Conference is in contemplation for this year, and the question of the formation of an Empire Council is not on the Agenda for the forthcoming Imperial Cabinet Meeting.

Sir J. NORTON-GRIFFITHS

In view of the opinion expressed in all parts of the Empire and in this country in favour of this course, will my right hon. Friend consider the advisability of placing this matter on the Agenda of the next Imperial Conference?

Lieut.-Colonel A. MURRAY

Has not disapproval been expressed of this proposal in Canada?

Colonel WEDGWOOD

And in Australia?
