§ 44. Captain P. MACDONALDasked the Secretary of State for Dominion Affairs whether the consultations between the Governments of the Dominions and this country are now sufficiently advanced to enable the agenda of the Ottawa Conference to be published; and, if not, whether he will consider the desirability of publishing the agenda proposed by this country in view of the imminence of the Debate on the Conference?
The SECRETARY of STATE for DOMINION AFFAIRS (Mr. J. H. Thomas)Proposals for the agenda were initiated by His Majesty's Government in Canada and I understand that their consultation with the other Governments is not yet complete. Hence I am not yet in a position to state when the agenda can be published. I will, however, give the House, in the Debate later in the week, all the information available.
