WORLD ECONOMIC CONFERENCE. (Hansard, 6 April 1933)

§ 45. Captain P. MACDONALD
asked the Prime Minister if he can now state the date on which the proposed World Economic Conference will be held?

§ The PRIME MINISTER (Mr. Ramsay MacDonald)
I would refer my hon. and gallant Friend to the reply which I gave to the hon. Member for Caerphilly (Mr. M. Jones) on Monday last, to which I have at present nothing to add.

§ Captain MACDONALD
Is there any truth in the statement that the Prime Minister is proceeding to America, and what is the object of his visit?

§ The PRIME MINISTER
The Easter holiday is coming on, and I hope the Prime Minister can use the opportunity of doing as he thinks fit.

§ Mr. MAXTON
I hope no one in the House would dream of interfering with that. Might I ask if the Prime Minister's visit to America is going to take place, and if it will have any effect in postponing the date of the World Economic Conference?

§ The PRIME MINISTER
Quite the opposite. I hope it will hurry it up.
