HC Deb 25 July 1922 vol 157 c211
Mr. CLYNES

May I ask the Lord Privy Seal whether any papers in regard to the Hague Conference will he circulated to Members in time for to-morrow's Debate?

Mr. CHAMBERLAIN

Yes, Sir. A Command Paper has been laid, and copies are now available in the Vote Office. Full circulation will be made to-morrow. The Paper could not be got ready for circulation this morning, and, therefore, copies have been placed in the Vote Office, to give Members an opportunity of earlier perusal if they wish it.

Captain BENN

Will there be a preliminary statement by a spokesman of the Government in the Debate?

Mr. CHAMBERLAIN

Yes, Sir. My hon. Friend the Secretary to the Overseas Trade Department will open the Debate with a general statement.

Lieut. - Commander KENWORTHY

Will the Prime Minister speak to-morrow?

Mr. CHAMBERLAIN

The Prime Minister may be tempted to break his silence.
