HC Deb 25 May 1936 vol 312 c1631
48. Commander LOCKER-LAMPSON

asked the Prime Minister whether in view of the recent inability of the League of Nations to prevent the use of the Suez Canal by the aggressor for warlike purposes, he will recommend the appointment of a commission to consider how this international highway may be secured from such employment in future?

The PRIME MINISTER

I do not think that the adoption of my hon. and gallant Friend's suggestion would achieve any useful purpose.
