§ 60. Mr. Rees-Williamsasked the Under-Secretary of State for Dominion Affairs what are the terms of the agreement arrived at between the representatives of the Powers at the recent South Pacific conference at Canberra.
§ The Under-Secretary of State for India (Mr. Arthur Henderson)I have been asked to reply. An agreement to blish the South Pacific Commission was signed ad referendum at Canberra on 6th February by the representatives of the Governments of Australia, France, the Netherlands, New Zealand, the United Kingdom and the United States. The agreement is a document of considerable length, consisting of 21 articles, and the full official text has not yet been received. But in the meantime I have placed in the Library of the House a copy of the text, as telegraphed.
