§ 5. Lieut.-Commander KENWORTHYasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs what stage the preparations have reached for the proposed World Disarmament Conference next year; when and where it will meet; and what steps he proposes to take at the Assembly of the League of Nations this year to further the holding of this conference?
Mr. A. HENDERSONAs my hon. and gallant Friend is probably aware, the meeting of the Preparatory Disarmament Commission has been definitely fixed for 3rd November next. It is hoped that this will prove the final meeting of the Commission, and that the Council of the League of Nations will thereafter be able to suggest a date for the summoning of 398 the General Disarmament Conference. No further action can, therefore, be taken at this stage.
§ Lieut. - Commander KENWORTHYDoes my right hon. Friend anticipate a meeting next year as originally planned?
