HC Deb 05 May 1924 vol 173 cc11-2
17. Lieut.-Commander KENWORTHY

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs who are the British representatives on the League of Nations extra sub-committee of the Temporary Mixed Commission for Disarmament now meeting at Prague; and what are the instructions of His Majesty's Government to its delegates on the question of the private manufacture and traffic in arms and munitions of war?

The PRIME MINISTER

There is no representative of this country on the sub-committee referred to. No question of instructions would in any case arise since the members of the Temporary Mixed Commission and consequently of its sub-committee do not represent their respective Governments, but act in a purely individual capacity.
