LORD PONSONBY OF SHULBREDE

My Lords, I desire to ask His Majesty's Government whether the names of the delegates of the United Kingdom to the World Economic Conference can be announced.

VISCOUNT HAILSHAM

My Lords, the composition of the United Kingdom Delegation to the Monetary and Economic Conference will be constituted as follows: The Prime Minister, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, the Secretary of State for Dominion Affairs, the Secretary of State for the Colonies, the President of the Board of Trade, the Minister of Agriculture and Fisheries, and myself. As president of the Conference the Prime Minister will be unable to attend regularly the meetings of the United Kingdom Delegation and the Chancellor of the Exchequer will therefore act as leader of the Delegation.
