§ 4. Lieut. - Commander KENWORTHYasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether the New Guinea Mandate will come up for consideration by the Mandates Commission of the League of Nations.
§ Mr. PONSONBYThe hon. and gallant Member presumably refers to the Mandatory's Annual Report. This is no doubt, as usual, being considered by the Mandates Commission at its present session.
§ Lieut. - Commander KENWORTHYHave any instructions been given to our representatives to look into this Mandate, in view of the very serious allegations that are being made now in Australia by a former officer of health in this area of New Guinea?
§ Mr. PONSONBYWe shall no doubt get a report from the Mandates Commission in due course.
§ Lieut. - Commander KENWORTHYCan I be informed of the instructions to our representatives? Are they instructed to look into this matter?
