HC Deb 12 December 1945 vol 417 cc380-1
7. Captain Blackburn

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he will publish the terms of the agreement between His Majesty's Government and the Dutch Government providing for the resumption by the Dutch Netherlands Indies Government of full responsibilities for the administration of the Netherlands Indies territories.

Mr. Bevin

Yes, Sir. I am arranging for copies of the text of the Civil Affairs Agreement for the Netherlands East Indies, which was signed on 24th August last, to be placed in the Library.

Mr. Driberg

Could my right hon. Friend arrange for it to be published in Hansard?

Mr. Bevin

I think, if it is in the Library, every Member can get it and read it.

Mr. Driberg

It is not published.
