HC Deb 07 February 1949 vol 461 c8
12. Mr. Hollis

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he is aware that the official communiqué of the Consultative Council of Western European Powers announces that the Cultural Committee will meet on 2nd August at Ashridge, Kent; whether he is aware that considerable inconvenience is likely to be caused to foreign delegates by the fact that Ashridge is not in Kent; and what steps he will take to have this corrected.

Mr. McNeil

The hon. and gallant Member is, I think, referring to a course for teachers which is due to meet on 2nd August, and not to the Cultural Committee. The Permanent Commission of the Brussels Treaty are taking steps to see that all concerned with the course are aware that Ashridge is in Hertfordshire. I regret the mistake made.
