HC Deb 27 October 1932 vol 269 c1149
45. Mr. COCKS

asked the Prime Minister whether he can make a statement on the present position of the World Economic Conference?

The PRIME MINISTER

I would refer the hon. Member to the reply which I gave to the hon. and gallant Member for Limehouse (Mr. Attlee) on the 18th instant, to which at present I have nothing to add.

Mr. COCKS

Can the Prime Minister say whether the question of debts and tariffs will be included or excluded?

The PRIME MINISTER

As a matter of fact, the arrangements are in the hands of the League of Nations.

Mr. HANNON

Would it not add to the moral force of any economic conference that takes place to ask the Secretary-General of the League to get the non-contributing nations to pay their contributions?
