HC Deb 08 July 1935 vol 304 cc11-2
9. Mr. JOHN WILMOT

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he can make any report on the decisions of the League Committee of Thirteen, which has been studying measures to render the Covenant more effective in the organisation of collective security?

Sir S. HOARE

As my predecessor informed the hon. Member for Wolverhampton East (Mr. Mander) on 29th May, the Committee of Thirteen, at the close of its first session, appointed a sub-committee of jurists and a sub-committee on economic and financial questions. The former sub-committee has already met, and the latter is now in session. The reports of these sub-committees will be presented on 24th July to the full committee, which will then proceed to draw up its report to the Council of the League.

Mr. PETHERICK

Would it not be more successful if an additional member were appointed?
