§ 26. Lieut.-Commander KENWORTHYasked the Prime Minister how it is pro posed to inform the House of Commons of the results of, and conclusions arrived at, the Imperial Conference now sitting; whether an agreed report of the proceedings will be issued; and, in particular, whether he will make a statement of the Government's decision with regard to the renewal or otherwise of the Anglo-Japanese alliance?
§ The PRIME MINISTERThe Conference itself will decide what part of its proceedings shall be published. The House will be informed of the Government's decision in regard to the Anglo-Japanese Treaty as soon as it is possible to make a statement upon the subject.
§ Lieut. - Commander KENWORTHYAre we to be given an opportunity of discussing this matter?
§ The PRIME MINISTERI would prefer that such a question should be put to the Leader of the House.
§ Commander BELLAIRSMay we be quite certain that the House will not be faced with anything like an accomplished fact?
§ The PRIME MINISTERThe House will be kept fully informed of the progress of events. This is a matter of first class policy.
