HC Deb 09 April 1934 vol 288 cc1-2
1. Mr. TINKER

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if, in view of the reply of France to the British memorandum regarding securities, he will now consider approaching the League of Nations for the setting up of an international police force?

The SECRETARY of STATE for FOREIGN AFFAIRS (Sir John Simon)

I have nothing to add to the reply given by my hon. Friend, the Lord Privy Seal, to the Motion introduced by the hon. Member for Wolverhampton, East (Mr. Mander) on the 13th December last.

Mr. TINKER

In the event of success not attending the efforts of His Majesty's Government, will they not then take up this matter with the League of Nations with a view to the setting up of an international police force?

Sir J. SIMON

That is manifestly a matter which would be involved in the discussions going on at Geneva.

Mr. HERBERT WILLIAMS

Can the right hon. Gentleman say whether any consideration has been given to the question where the police stations are to be?
