§ 8. Mr. PONSONBYasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether all replies by mandatory Powers concerning the list of questions on B and C mandates prepared by the Permanent Mandates Commission have been received and will be considered by the Council of the League of Nations during its present session; and whether he will issue as a White Paper the answer of the French Government and of the other mandatory Powers when they are available?
Mr. LOCKER LAMPSONHis Majesty's Governments in Great Britain, the Union of South Africa and New Zealand, and the French Government have replied. No official notification has been received that His Majesty's Government in the Commonwealth of Australia and the Belgian Government have yet done so. The matter is on the agenda of the present meeting of the Council of the League, and I presume that such replies as have been received will be considered. The various replies will be circulated and published by the League in due course. As soon as they have all been received here His Majesty's Government will consider the question of laying them as a Command Paper,
