HC Deb 28 November 1932 vol 272 c460
19. Mr. MORGAN JONES

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether, in order to obtain full consideration of the Lytton Report on the situation in Manchuria, His Majesty's representative on the League of Nations Council is authorised to recommend the calling of a special session of the Assembly or of the Committee of Nineteen?

Sir J. SIMON

I have just received information that this matter has been further considered by the Council this morning, and that the Council decided to transmit the report for the consideration of the Assembly. This decision was taken with the full concurrence of the United Kingdom delegate, who is at the moment my hon. Friend the Under-Secretary.

Mr. JONES

Does that mean a special meeting of the Assembly, or have we to wait until the next meeting of the Assembly?

Sir J. SIMON

It means a special Assembly, which, as the hon. Member knows, has already met on the matter, and which will now be re-summoned.
