HC Deb 08 March 1923 vol 161 c713
52. Mr. HURD

asked the Prime Minister whether he will invite the Dominion Governments to say whether it would facilitate their desire for an Imperial Conference this year if the gathering took place at some half-way house of the Empire, such as the new Parliament buildings at Ottawa?

The PRIME MINISTER

We have assumed that it would be generally desired that any meeting of the Imperial Conference which may be arranged this year should be held in London.

Mr. HURD

Is it not desirable to make inquiry on the subject?

The PRIME MINISTER

Not in this case, as we assumed that London would be preferred.
