HC Deb 14 April 1927 vol 205 c541
38. Mr. CECIL WILSON

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he can indicate when it may be hoped that the replies of the various Governments regarding Part II of the Report on the Traffic in Women and Children are likely to be received; and how soon thereafter publication may be expected?

The UNDER-SECRETARY of STATE for FOREIGN AFFAIRS (Mr. Godfrey Locker-Lampson)

My right hon. Friend has no means of forecasting the action of foreign Governments in this matter, but he hopes that the Council of the League will be in a position to take a decision at its next meeting in June.

Colonel DAY

Can the hon. Gentleman say when Part II will be published, so that everyone can obtain it?

Mr. LOCKER-LAMPSON

That is exactly what I cannot say. It entirely depends on the Governments.

Colonel DAY

Will the hon. Gentleman use his best efforts to see that it is published?

Mr. LOC KER-LAMPSON

No; I think that is a matter for the Governments themselves.
