HC Deb 06 April 1936 vol 310 cc2413-4
51. Mr. ELLIS SMITH

asked the Prime Minister whether he will prepare a constructive peace policy, including a permanent peace conference with political and economic sections, which shall be submitted to the next meeting of the League of Nations; and will he attend at Geneva in order to put forward these proposals and give a lead to the world in order to stop the drift towards war?

The PRIME MINISTER

I am afraid that I cannot add to the replies which I gave to a somewhat similar question and supplementary question asked by the hon. Member for Seaham (Mr. Shinwell) last Thursday.

Mr. SMITH

Is the Prime Minister aware of the growing feeling in the country that it is time this Government took the initiative with a view to bringing about a settlement?

Mr. WISE

May I ask whether we are to read into the phrase "a permanent peace conference" the idea that this conference should sit for ever without coming to a decision?
