HC Deb 21 April 1931 vol 251 c771
8. Captain BOURNE

asked the Secretary of State for Dominion Affairs the date on which the Imperial Economic Conference will assemble at Ottawa?

The SECRETARY of STATE for DOMINION AFFAIRS (Mr. J. H. Thomas)

Some date in the latter part of August seems most likely, but the exact date has not yet been settled.

Mr. ANNESLEY SOMERVILLE

Can the right hon. Gentleman say whether the agenda paper of the conference will be published before the conference is held?

Mr. THOMAS

I am not certain about that, but the terms of reference as adjourned from the last conference seem very wide.
