HC Deb 10 June 1931 vol 253 c989
12. Mr. SMITHERS

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether, in view of the recent visit of His Majesty's Ship "Nelson" and other vessels to the West Indies and United States, he will consider the advisability of sending one or more large warships to Canadian waters in honour of the Imperial Economic Conference at Ottawa?

Mr. ALEXANDER

I would refer the hon. Member to the announcement made yesterday by my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for the Dominions that it has been decided to postpone the Conference until 1932.
