HC Deb 05 December 1928 vol 223 c1189
5. Mr. T. SHAW

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he has received from the secretary-general of the League of Nations a copy of the General Act for the Pacific Settlement of Disputes; and whether His Majesty's Government is considering the question of acceding to the provisions of this Act?

6. Sir CHARLES TREVELYAN

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether His Majesty's Government has decided what action it will take on the treaties of non-aggression and mutual assistance drawn up by the Committee of the League of Nations on arbitration and security, and subsequently approved and recommended by the Assembly?

Sir A. CHAMBERLAIN

His Majesty's Government have received from the Secretary-General of the League of Nations copies of the general Act and of the model treaties of non-aggression and mutual assistance. As the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster fully explained on the 15th of November, it is not the present intention of His Majesty's Government to adopt any of these instruments.
