HC Deb 30 July 1931 vol 255 c2489W
Mr. McELWEE

asked the Home Secretary whether the Government propose to send representatives to the League of Nations conference in October on the reform of the calendar?

Mr. CLYNES

The conference in question is a General Conference on Communications and Transit and the reform of the calendar is one of a number of items on the agenda. His Majesty's Government will be represented at the conference.

Mr. McELWEE

asked the Home Secretary if he will consider the appointment of a Departmental Committee to consider information available on the question of the reform of the calendar?

Mr. CLYNES

I do not think there is any need to appoint a Departmental Committee. The question has been studied by a League of Nations Committee, and is to be considered this autumn by the League of Nations General Conference on Communications and Transit. When the results of this conference are received, they will, of course, be carefully considered by His Majesty's Government.
