§ 11. Mr. MANDERasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if he will give particulars of the proposals for a reduction in expenditure on the League of Nations made by the British representative at the council meeting on Monday?
§ Sir J. SIMONHis Majesty's Government have made no proposals for specified reductions, but have proposed that a small expert committee be appointed to examine the whole question of League expenditure with the help of the Supervisory Committee, and to report to the Assembly in September next.
§ Mr. MANDERWill the right hon. Gentleman bear in mind that the actual cost to the people of this country is about ½d. per head per annum of the population?
§ Sir J. SIMONEven if that were so, it would be no reason for any unnecessary spending.
