HC Deb 04 March 1925 vol 181 c471W
Mr. DUNNICO

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether, before submitting to the Dominions the modifications of the Genoa Protocal favoured by the Government, he will also communicate to the House the precise nature and terms of such modifications?

Mr. CHAMBERLAIN

No, Sir. I think the hon. Member will see that I cannot undertake in this or any other matter to lay before this House confidential communications passing between this Government and the Governments of the Dominions in relation to questions of policy which affect the whole Empire, unless when the correspondence is completed all the Governments concerned concur in its publication.
