§ 3. Mr. MORELasked the Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs what are the precise powers now enjoyed and exercised by the Conference of Ambassadors; if the decisions taken from time to time by this body are submitted to the Governments represented upon it before being acted upon; if decisions which may be put in force are determined by majority vote or otherwise; and where the Conference habitually meets?
§ Mr. PONSONBYI would refer the hon. Member to the reply made by the Prime Minister to the hon. Member for Hackney (North) on the 25th February, stating that the Ambassadors' Conference was created for the purpose of coordinating the action of the Allied Governments in regard to questions arising out of the interpretation and execution of the Treaties of Peace. His Majesty's Government are of opinion that the powers of the Conference should be confined to that purpose. All decisions of the Conference, which meets at Paris, are taken unanimously. It is left to the discretion of His Majesty's Ambassador to refer for instructions on all points in which he is in doubt as to the wishes of His Majesty's Government.
