HC Deb 06 April 1936 vol 310 c2410
47. Mr. DAY

asked the Prime Minister whether he will assure the House that no definite decision or commitments involving the British Empire will be made as the outcome of the Staff Conferences during the time this House is in Recess during Easter?

The PRIME MINISTER

My right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs made it clear in the statement which he made to the House on Friday that the proposed Staff Conversations will not increase the political obligations of this country. The hon. Member's apprehensions are therefore without foundation.

Mr. DAY

Will the Staff Conferences consist of the guarantor Powers to the Locarno Treaty?

The PRIME MINISTER

Perhaps the hon. Member will put that question down.
