HC Deb 14 December 1925 vol 189 cc963-4
63. Mr. HAYES

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs who was the official responsible for issuing instructions to the police to stop Press photographers from taking photographs in the Foreign Office quadrangle of the delegates to the signing of the Locarno Pact; and what steps are being taken to prevent similar actions of this kind?

Captain HACKING

I would refer the hon. Member to the answer given on the 9th instant to a question on the same subject by the hon. and gallant Member for Central Hull (Lieut.-Commander Kenworthy). The First Commissioner of Works has already explained that the instructions were given through a misunderstanding by an officer of his Department, and he has expressed his regret for the occurrence. The hon. Member may rest assured that every effort is made to avoid such unfortunate misunderstandings.

54. Mr. N. MACLEAN

asked the Prime Minister whether, in the recent discussion over the Pact, the relationships of Montenegro to Servia, and Korea to Japan, were discussed; and, if so, whether any decisions were made?

The UNDER-SECRETARY of STATE for FOREIGN AFFAIRS (Mr. Godfrey Locker-Lampson)

The answer to the first part of the question is in the negative. The second part does not therefore arise.
