HC Deb 02 April 1930 vol 237 cc1265-6
33 and 34. Mr. CHARLES BUXTON

asked the Under-Secretary of State for Dominion Affairs (1) whether, and, if so, in what manner, the Colony of Southern Rhodesia will be represented this year at the Colonial Office Conference, the Imperial Conference, or the Imperial Economic Conference; (2) whether, and, if so, in what manner, the Protectorates of Bechuanaland, Basutoland, and Swaziland will be represented this year at the Colonial Office Conference, the Imperial Conference, or the Imperial Economic Conference?

The UNDER-SECRETARY of STATE for DOMINION AFFAIRS (Mr. Lunn)

All the points which the hon. Member raises are under consideration, but I am not able to make any statement at present.

46. Sir NICHOLAS GRATTAN - DOYLE

asked the Prime Minister whether an opportunity will be given to the House to consider the agenda proposed by the Government for discussion at the forthcoming Imperial Conference?

Mr. P. SNOWDEN

Until consultation with His Majesty's Governments in the Dominions regarding the agenda for the Imperial Conference is further advanced, it would be premature to make any statement, but the Prime Minister hopes that he may be able to give the House information as to the agenda later on.

Sir N. GRATTAN-DOYLE

May I ask the right hon. Gentleman whether the subject to which I referred last week and which he described as a stunt will be considered?

Mr. SNOWDEN

I have nothing to add to what I said in regard to the stunt last week.
