HC Deb 06 August 1941 vol 373 c1924
4. Mr. Mander

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether it is proposed to invite representatives of all our Allies to be present at the next meeting of the Allied Conference and to associate themselves with its work both during and after the war?

Mr. Eden

A meeting of Allied representatives was held on 12th June, and I hope that another will shortly be held to deal with certain specific problems. It is of course desirable that these meetings should be attended by representatives of all the Governments concerned, and the point raised by the hon. Member will certainly be borne in mind.

Mr. Mander

Will my right hon. Friend see that the next meeting of this conference obtains the greatest possible amount of publicity in this country and throughout the world? That would be of great value to us.

Mr. Eden

I hope we shall do some good work and that it will publicise itself.

Mr. Mander

Will the Press be invited, and will they be as closely associated as possible with the gathering?

Mr. Eden indicated assent
