HC Deb 12 November 1945 vol 415 cc1733-4
25. Mr. Nutting

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs what progress has been made towards reaching agreement on the questions referred by the Big Five Conference to the Foreign Ministers' deputies.

Mr. Noel-Baker

The deputies have at present no authority to proceed with the discussion of the matters referred to them by the Foreign Ministers.

Mr. Nutting

May I ask the Minister whether, in view of the fact that there is no authority for the deputies to continue these matters, it is proposed to have another meeting of the Foreign Secretaries in the near future?

Mr. Noel-Baker

Perhaps the hon. Member will put that question down.
