HC Deb 18 December 1929 vol 233 c1371
7. Sir NICHOLAS GRATTAN-DOYLE

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether it is his intention to attend the meeting of the Council of the League of Nations at Geneva in January next; and what business will be before the Council on that occasion?

Mr. A. HENDERSON

I propose to attend the meeting though, owing to the forthcoming Naval Conference, I may not be able to remain in Geneva until the end of the session. During the remainder of the session His Majesty's Government will be represented by the Parliamentary Under-Secretary for Foreign Affairs. The official agenda for the forthcoming meeting of the Council has now been issued, and I will send the hon. Member a copy.

Captain CROOKSHANK

Will not Lord Cecil be acting on behalf of the Government?

Mr. HENDERSON

I have already answered. I said that the Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs will represent the Government in my absence.
