§ 6. Mr. Manderasked the Prime Minister whether he will consider the advisability of arranging that the British delegates to the Assembly of the League of Nations in September shall move a resolution reporting the recent arrangements completed for mutual action against aggression, and proposing that this should, as far as practicable, be brought within the framework of the Covenant of the League?
§ Mr. ButlerOn 23rd May my Noble Friend informed the Council of the League that His Majesty's Government would propose to take an appropriate opportunity for communicating to the League the result of the negotiations on which they were engaged, and which were in strict conformity with the spirit of the Covenant. This is, of course, still their intention. But I do not think it would be desirable for the United Kingdom delegation to move a resolution of the kind suggested by the hon. Member.
§ Mr. ManderCan the right hon. Gentleman say whether the statement referred to by the Foreign Secretary is likely to be made? Will it be to the Council or to the Assembly?
§ Mr. ButlerProbably during the meeting of the Assembly in the 6th Committee.
