HC Deb 11 March 1925 vol 181 c1291
2. Colonel WEDGWOOD

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether his attention has been called to the action of the Swedish Government in writing to the Secretary-General of the League of Nations proposing that the Council of the League should decide that the presidency of the Saar Governing Commission be alloted by rotation between the members of the Commission; and whether, in view of this Report from the Saar, the British Government will take similar action to that adopted by Sweden?

The UNDER-SECRETARY of STATE for FOREIGN AFFAIRS (Mr. Ronald McNeill)

I believe that the Swedish Government have in fact addressed such a note to the League of Nations, but no copy has yet been received in the Foreign Office. I can give no information as to the attitude my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs will adopt if the proposal be discussed by the Council.
