HC Deb 21 April 1926 vol 194 c1180
2. Captain CROOKSHANK

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether the British representative on the Straits Administrative Commission renders any reports regarding the activities of the Commission; and, if so, whether they will be published?

Sir A. CHAMBERLAIN

The British representative on the Straits Commission does not render any report to His Majesty's Government regarding the activities of the Commission, which, under Article 15 of the Straits Convention,"carries out its functions under the auspices of the League of Nations"and reports direct to the League. He collaborates, of course, in the preparation of the Commission's occasional reports to the League of Nations as well as of the Annual Report. The first of these Annual Reports has just been submitted to the League, and it is not yet possible to say what steps will be taken in regard to its publication.
