HC Deb 30 June 1930 vol 240 cc1604-5
51. Sir OSWALD MOSLEY

asked the Prime Minister whether an opportunity will be provided before the end of the Session for a discussion of the proposals which the Government will lay before the Imperial Economic Conference, irrespective of such proposals involving legislation?

The PRIME MINISTER

It has already been explained to the House that the Agenda of the Imperial Conference is a matter to be settled in consultation with His Majesty's Governments in the Dominions, and this consultation is still proceeding. I shall hope to be in a position to give the House an outline of the Agenda both on the political and the economic side before the end of the Session. If there be a desire to discuss the matter it can be raised on Supply according to previous custom, or on the Appropriation Bill.

Mr. REMER

In Committee of Supply are we not prohibited from discussing a large number of cases which must arise at the Imperial Conference?

The PRIME MINISTER

That is so. In Supply, the question can only be raised partially, but not in the other case.
