§ 59. Colonel HOWARD-BURYasked the Home Secretary which countries are to be invited to send representatives to the plenary conference on the opium question which is to take place in May, 1931?
§ Mr. CLYNESThe Conference which is being convened in May, 1931, is a general Conference for the conclusion of an agreement on the limitation of the 1030 manufacture of dangerous drugs; and the assembly of the League decided at its meeting in September that all States members or non-members of the League should be invited to send representatives to it.
§ 60 Colonel HOWARD-BURYasked the Home Secretary why no arrangements have been made for the attendance at the Preliminary Opium Conference, which is being held in London at the instigation of His Majesty's Government, of representatives of all the countries chiefly concerned in consuming opium and opium derivatives: and what means it is proposed to adopt to ensure that the views of all those countries shall receive proper recognition?
§ Mr. CLYNESThe preliminary meeting which is now taking place was convened, on the suggestion of the opium Advisory Committee of the League, to consider certain questions which concern primarily the countries engaged in manufacturing dangerous drugs, in preparation for the general Conference to be held at Geneva in May. All the consuming countries are being invited to the general Conference.
