§ 50. Lieut.-Commander KENWORTHYasked the Prime Minister whether he is now in a position to make any statement on the course of proceedings at The Hague Conference; when a statement, with an opportunity for debate, will be made to Parliament; and when the next conference is to take place and where?
§ 53. Sir H. BRITTAINasked the Prime Minister whether it has been definitely decided to bring home the British delegation from The Hague during the present week?
Mr. CHAMBERLAINI understand that there is to be a plenary session of The Hague Conference to-day for the purpose of healing any new proposals which the Russians may put forward. The future of the Conference will clearly depend on the result of the meeting. As regards the last part of the hon. and gallant Member's question, I would refer him to the statement made by the Prime Minister on Thursday last in regard to the Business of the House.
§ Lieut.-Commander KENWORTHYShall we have a statement in any case on this important subject before the House rises for the Recess?
Mr. CHAMBERLAINThat is the question which was answered by the Prime Minister last Thursday, when he stated that an opportunity would be found in Supply next week.
§ Sir H. BRITTAINWhen are the delegates coming home?
Mr. CHAMBERLAINI think I had better not answer that question. I do not know what proposals the Russians are going to make to-day, or whether 2076 they are going to make any. They indicated a desire for another meeting, and one is being held.
