§ 2. Mr. DAYasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether in view of the fact that in response to the communications addressed by His Majesty's Government to foreign Governments in 1931 for the purpose of fixing a regular date for Easter favorable replies were received from several foreign Powers, he will now consider again approaching those Governments who did not give a definite reply on that occasion, but referred the subject to a committee for further consideration, in order to see whether they will now agree to fix a regular date?
§ Mr. EDENThis matter is now in the hands of the Communications and Transit Organisation of the League of Nations, and I do not consider it opportune for His Majesty's Government to take independent action such as is suggested.
