HC Deb 04 July 1928 vol 219 c1355
4. Mr. WELLOCK

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he can inform the House as to the nature of the recommendations of the Arbitration Committee of the League of Nations, and as to the attitude of His Majesty's Government towards those recommendations?

Sir A. CHAMBERLAIN

The Arbitration and Security Committee is still in session at Geneva, and I am unable to forecast the nature of its decisions.

Mr. WELLOCK

Can the right hon. Gentleman say which Convention the present Government are backing? There are five Conventions, I understand. One is the all-in arbitration. Are the Government backing that?

Sir A. CHAMBERLAIN

The position of His Majesty's Government in regard to arbitration has not changed. It has been expressed to the House. I do not understand that all these proposals are competitive.
