HC Deb 25 May 1933 vol 278 c1273
57. Mr. TOM SMITH

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether the Advisory Committee of the League of Nations which was set up in connection with the Sino-Japanese dispute has yet made any report on the question of an arms embargo; and, if not, whether, in view of Japan's continued aggression in Chinese territory, he will urge the committee to expedite its work?

Mr. BALDWIN

The answer to the first part of the question is in the negative. As regards the second part, I think it may be assumed that the committee is pursuing its labours as expeditiously as it can.

Mr. SMITH

Can the right hon. Gentleman say when we are likely to have a decision on this matter.

Mr. BALDWIN

I am afraid I cannot.
