§ 71. Mr. TAYLORasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether it is the intention of His Majesty's Government to lay before the Preparatory Commission of the League of Nations for the forthcoming Disarmament Conference any definite proposals for any reduction or limitation in the naval, military, or air forces of Great Britain?
Mr. LOCKER-LAMPSONI regret that I am unable to give a definite reply at this stage to the hon. Member's question. The Preparatory Commission is not meeting again until March. In the meantime His Majesty's Government will doubtless consider their future policy in the light of the proceedings of Sub-Committee B, which is now meeting, and of the report of Sub-Committee A, which will shortly be issued.
