HC Deb 28 April 1937 vol 323 cc320-1
10. Mr. Thorne

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs the reason for the Disarmament Conference being adjourned and when the next conference will be held?

Mr. Eden

I would refer the hon. Member to the answer given to the hon. Member for Kingswinford (Mr. A. Henderson) on Monday last, to which I have nothing to add.

Mr. Thorne

May we have the date when the conference is to be held?

Mr. Eden

The date was postponed at the request of a number of Governments until some 10 days subsequently in order to fit in with the meetings of the Council and the Assembly.

Mr. Leach

Does the right hon. Gentleman regard the Disarmament Conference as dead or alive?
