§ Mr. N. MACLEANasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs the cost to this country to date of the World Economic Conference?
§ Mr. EDENHis Majesty's Government are only bearing the extra cost of holding the Conference in London instead of in Geneva. It would involve a great deal of time and work to calculate how much of the expenditure already incurred will ultimately be a final charge on His 1541W Majesty's Government, if indeed such a calculation could be made at all at this stage. As to the estimated amount of the final charge, as already explained, £18,500 has been included in the Foreign Office Vote for 1933–34 for this purpose—inclusive of £7,500 for adapting the Geological Museum for the work of the Conference.
§ Mr. LEVYasked the Prime Minister if, and when, it is the intention to adjourn the World Monetary and Economic Conference; and what date is proposed for its resumption?
§ The PRIME MINISTERNo decision has yet been taken by the Bureau which controls the business of the Conference, but an adjournment is likely next week.
