§ 25. Lord ROBERT CECILasked the Prime Minister what Minister is to be in charge of the League of Nations questions; and who will attend meetings of the council on behalf of this country?
§ The PRIME MINISTERQuestions in regard to the League of Nations should be addressed to my hon. Friend the Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs. As regards the last part of the question, I am not yet in a position to make a statement.
§ Lord R. CECILWould it be any use to put down this question again before the end of the Session?
§ The PRIME MINISTERI really do not think so. We are so pressed that it is very difficult to come to a decision of this kind.
§ The PRIME MINISTERNo; that is one of the things I am considering.
§ Mr. PONSONBYWill the Prime Minister consider the advisability of our representative on the Council of the league of Nations being elected by Parliament instead of nominated by the Government?
