HARRISasked the Prime Minister whether he is now in a position to state who will be the representatives of Great Britain at the meeting of the Assembly of the League of Nations next 239 September; and, if not, whether he is considering the advisability of making the delegation non-party in character and of following precedent in the appointment of a woman delegate?

§ Mr. HARRISCan the right hon. Gentleman state if the Press is correctly informed in stating that the Prime Minister himself hopes to be able to go?
§ Mr. CLYNESI am not aware of any information that has been given to the Press to that effect, but I think my hon. Friend will be satisfied with the personnel of the deputation when the Prime Minister has made his announcement.
§ 47. Mr. J. HARRISasked the Prim Minister whether an opportunity will be provided for discussing the work of the British representative on the Council of the League of Nations?
§ Mr. CLYNESThe Government regret that, owing to the heavy Parliamentary programme, they cannot grant facilities for such a Debate; but this question could be raised in Committee of Supply, if there were a general desire for a discussion.
§ Major COLFOXHave the Government got any policy at all in this matter?
§ Mr. HARRISIs the right hon. Gentleman not aware that his predecessor did, in fact, provide such time, and is it not important that the Labour Government should show itself equally anxious to have a Debate?
