HC Deb 17 March 1938 vol 333 cc584-5
50. Mr. Acland

asked the Prime Minister whether it is his intention to make a statement communicating to the House and to the country His Majesty's Government's decisions upon foreign policy arising as a result of their consideration of the new situation which has arisen since 11th March; and, if so, can he now say when the statement will be made?

The Prime Minister

I have no intention of adding anything in the immediate future to what was said on this subject by my Noble Friend yesterday and by myself on 14th March

51. Mr. Davidson

asked the Prime Minister whether he intends to set up a special sub-committee of the Cabinet to deal with international affairs?

The Prime Minister

Such a committee has been in existence for a long time.

Mr. Davidson

May the House be made acquainted with the names of the members of this committee?

The Prime Minister

No, Sir.

Mr. Mander

Would it not be better to set up a new Cabinet?

Mr. Speaker

rose

Mr. Davidson

On a point of Order. May I point out, with all due respect to you, Mr. Speaker, that I very seldom intervene in foreign politics and that I have placed this question down because it seems very important; and may I be allowed to put a second supplementary question?

Mr. Speaker

The Prime Minister has already given an answer.
