HC Deb 28 July 1933 vol 280 c2955
18. Mr. HERBERT WILLIAMS

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether the United Kingdom delegation to the Pacific Relations Conference to be held in Banff, Canada, in September, has been appointed by His Majesty's Government in the United Kingdom; and if he can state the names of the delegates?

The UNDER-SECRETARY of STATE for FOREIGN AFFAIRS (Mr. Eden)

No, Sir. The conference is entirely unofficial, and the United Kingdom delegates to it have been selected by the Royal Institute of International Affairs. I have no information regarding the names of the United Kingdom delegates beyond what has recently appeared in the Press.

Mr. WILLIAMS

May I assume that the economic views that may be expressed at this Conference by the right hon. Member for Darwen (Sir H. Samuel) will not be taken as being the views of His Majesty's Government in the United Kingdom?

Mr. EDEN

Certainly.
