§ 2. Mr. DAYasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether any decision has been reached by the League of Nations Council with regard to further proposed inquiries connected with the problem of the traffic in women and children in the East; and will he consider making representations that an Indian representative should be placed on this committee?
Mr. A. HENDERSONThe matter was considered by the Council at its meeting in June, and it was decided to communicate with the Governments of countries in the Near East, Middle East, and Far East whose territories were not visited in the course of the previous inquiry, and to ascertain whether they would be prepared to give their consent and co-operation to a continuation of the inquiry. If their replies are favourable the composition of the Special Body of Experts will be considered by the Council, and I would confer with my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for India as to the desirability of including an Indian representative.
§ Mr. DAYCan the right hon. Gentleman say whether any replies have yet been received from any of these countries?
