HC Deb 22 December 1937 vol 330 cc1964-5
46. Mr. A. Henderson

asked the Prime Minister when he expects to receive M. Van Zeeland's report; and whether he will obtain M. Van Zeeland's consent to its publication in order that public opinion in this and other countries may be informed as to the proposals contained therein for securing economic appeasement?

The Prime Minister

In reply to the first part of this question, I would refer the hon. Member to what I said on this subject in the course of the Debate yesterday, and in reply to the second part, I would refer him to the answer given on 7th December to the hon. Member for Gower (Mr. Grenfell), to which I have at present nothing to add.

Mr. Henderson

Will the right hon. Gentleman bear in mind the fact that very great public interest has been taken in M. Van Zeeland's mission and that his report will be of very great public importance, and will he not, therefore, consider giving full information to the public in due course?

The Prime Minister

As I have already said in my answers, I will bear these points in mind.
