§ 17. Mr. RHYS DAVIESasked the Home Secretary whether a conference has yet been called of representatives from the countries affected within the British Empire to decide upon the presentation of a united policy on anthrax at the forthcoming International Labour Conference; and, if not, whether he will take steps in that direction?
§ Sir W. JOYNSON-HICKSNo such conference has been called, and as anthrax is not included in the agenda for the next International Labour Conference, the question cannot come up for discussion then.
§ Mr. DAVIESIs the right Gentleman not aware that the introduction of this subject at the Geneva Labour Conference depends almost entirely on a united policy for the British Empire? Will he take steps to secure that united policy?
§ Sir W. JOYNSON-HICKSThe hon. Member knows that he and I discussed this matter in the House last year, when I explained it was not possible to secure a united decision for the Empire.
