HC Deb 01 October 1941 vol 374 c555
4. Mr. Mander

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he will give an assurance that equality of treatment between our Allies in respect of membership of the Inter-allied Conference will be accorded without regard to the occupation partial or complete, of their territories by the enemy or precise diplomatic status, race, creed or colour?

Mr. Eden

The meetings of the Allied Governments have been convened to discuss special problems, and no standing conference with a fixed membership has been established. The points mentioned by my hon. Friend, together with other relevant considerations, will, of course, be borne in mind in connection with such meetings.

Mr. Mander

Do I understand that it is intended that in due course all our Allies shall take their place at the table?

Mr. Eden

I think my answer covers that.
