HC Deb 20 July 1931 vol 255 cc1055-6
47. Lieut.-Commander KENWORTHY

asked the Prime Minister what steps are contemplated for bringing about an exchange of opinion with the principal foreign Governments on those portions of the recommendations of the Macmillan report which call for possible international action?

The PRIME MINISTER

I would refer my hon. and gallant friend to the answer given by the Chancellor of the Exchequer on the 15th July, in reply to questions by my hon. Friend the Member for Lincoln (Mr. R. A. Taylor).

Lieut.-Commander KENWORTHY

Friend aware that that answer had reference to the action of the Government in our domestic sphere; and would it not be possible for the experts of the nations concerned—the principal creditor Powers—to get together, as otherwise we shall be going on to the end of the year and nothing will be done?

Mr. SMITHERS
