HC Deb 26 June 1935 vol 303 c1076
14. Mr. MANDER

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he will bring before the League of Nations' committee dealing with economic sanctions the proposals outlined in a book on the use of the mineral sanctions as an aid to international security, by the principal of Edinburgh University?

Sir S. HOARE

The proposals referred to have not escaped my notice, but the hon. Member will not expect me to say more than that the Committee of Thirteen will naturally study all relevant sources of information on the subject matter of their inquiry.

Mr. MANDER

In view of the importance and relevance of this particular book and its high authority, will the right hon. Gentleman consider directing the attention of the committee to it?

Sir S. HOARE

I feel sure that the publicity given to it by my hon. Friend's question will be sufficient.
