§ 2. Mr. OSWALD LEWISasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if any further progress has been made towards the conclusion of an agreement on disarmament betwen ourselves and other great Powers?
§ The PRIME MINISTERAs I informed my hon. Friend the Member for St. Pancnas South-West (Mr. Mitcheson) yesterday, the General Commission of the Disarmament Conference only met that day for the first time after a long adjournment. 159 I regret that I am unable, as yet, to make any statement in regard to the progress made at Geneva.
§ Mr. LEWISDoes the Prime Minister's answer mean that, all efforts to secure a general agreement on Disarmament having failed, all that remains is to try to find the least disagreeable method of expressing the fact?
§ The PRIME MINISTERNo, that is not quite the case.
§ Mr. HOLFORD KNIGHTOn the contrary, does it not mean that His Majesty's Government are pressing in every way to bring about a solution?
