§ 8. Mr. Douglasasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether the members of the committee under the 322 Agreement for International Control of the Production and Export of Tin have yet been appointed; upon what principles they were selected; and what producing interests they represent?
§ Mr. EdenAs the reply is rather detailed, I propose, with my hon. Friend's permission, to circulate it in the OFFICIAL REPORT.
§ Mr. DouglasWere they selected by the Government or nominated by somebody else?
§ Following is the reply:
