HC Deb 19 July 1912 vol 41 c700W
Mr. NOEL BUXTON

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs when the Return showing the methods employed by certain foreign States of associating with the Departments of State a Standing Committee of Parliament will be presented?

Mr. ACLAND

It is impossible to make any statement of the policy which His Majesty's Government would pursue in a situation which has not yet arisen, and the actual circumstances of which must therefore be a matter of pure speculation.
