HC Deb 08 February 1926 vol 191 c636
68. Captain BENN

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether it would be possible for him to publish annually a statement showing the international commitments of Great Britain, particularly those involving contingent military obligations?

Sir A. CHAMBERLAIN

All the international commitments of Great Britain have already been published, and if any new ones are incurred they will likewise be laid before the House. I do not think, therefore, that any useful purpose would be served by republishing them annually, nor would such republication justify the extra expenditure involved.
