§ 46. Lieut.-Commander Fletcherasked the Prime Minister whether he will consider strengthening the representation at the forthcoming Pacific Conference, in view of the increase in the gravity of the international situation since the conference was summoned?
§ The Prime MinisterHis Majesty's Government are satisfied that the composition of the United Kingdom delegation to the forthcoming conference in New Zealand is suitable to deal with the questions which are to be discussed.
§ Lieut.-Commander FletcherDoes not the right hon. Gentleman consider that the events which have transpired since the conference was summoned have rendered it of far greater importance than was originally contemplated; and, from that point of view, would he not consider strengthening the representation in order to make it one of first-rate importance?
§ The Prime MinisterThe matter has been very carefully considered, and we are satisfied that we have the right composition.
