§ 24. Mr. Hall-Caineasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies what arrangements will be made for the representation of the Colonies on the Empire Defence Co-ordination Committee to he set up as a result of the Imperial Conference?
§ Mr. Ormsby-GoreThere has been no proposal to set up a new Empire coordination committee as a result of the Imperial Conference. The Committee of Imperial Defence organisation is already available, and is extensively used, for coordination of Empire defence problems of every kind. A special sub-committee known as the Oversea Defence Committee is continuously and mainly engaged on problems of colonial defence.
