HC Deb 16 September 1931 vol 256 cc809-10
3. Mr. DAY

asked the Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he can state the last occasion on which the Ambassadors' Conference met; and whether any representations have been made to the League of Nations for the work done by this conference to he taken over by that body?

Captain EDEN

The last occasion on which the Conference of Ambassadors met was on the 12th January last. So far as I am aware, no representations have been made in the sense suggested by the hon. Member. The work of the conference has now reduced itself to dealing with minor questions, some of which are the sole concern of the ex-allied Powers. For such purposes this conference forms a convenient channel for carrying out the necessary exchange of views between the Powers concerned.

Mr. DAY

Can the hon. and gallant Member say whether this subject has been considered by His Majesty's Government?

Captain EDEN

I have said that the matters in question are of secondary importance, and there seems no particular reason for altering the present procedure.
