§ Mr. NORTON-GRIFFITHSasked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether he has received any communication from the Canadian Government requesting the Government to create a Special Board of Admiralty representing the Dominions and the Mother-country?
§ Mr. NORTON-GRIFFITHSasked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether, in view of the visit of the Prime Minister of Canada, the hon. Mr. Borden, and the Minister of Marine, the hon. Mr. Hazen, to this country in June to confer on naval co-operation, he will consider the advisability of asking the other Dominion Governments to likewise send representatives 355W of their respective Governments, so that this contemplated conference between the British and Canadian Governments may be widened with the view of getting the opinion of all the Dominions on the present naval position and future naval co-operation?
Mr. HARCOURTNo, Sir. His Majesty's Government do not think, unless the Canadian Government expresses a wish to that effect, that there is occasion at the present time for considering the question of inviting the other self-governing Dominions to a Conference.
