§ 7. Mr. Manderasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, whether it is pro posed to hold meetings from time to time, as last week, of all the Allies, British, Dominion and foreign, engaged in the war?
§ Mr. EdenI would refer the hon. Member to my concluding remarks at the inter-Allied meeting on 12th June which he will find in Command Paper 6285. I then said that it was not possible to hold such meetings continuously, but I hoped that that meeting might represent the inauguration of a new phase of collaboration and that it might form part of the machinery through which victory will be won and by which peace will be maintained after victory.
§ Mr. ManderMay I take it that these gatherings will be open to our Allies who have been fighting with us, such as those whose National Anthems are played on Sunday evenings?
§ Mr. ManderMy right hon. Friend will bear in mind that that does not apply to the meeting last week; and will he be good enough to rectify any absences that there may have been on that occasion?
