HC Deb 10 March 1919 vol 113 cc942-4W
Mr. JOHN DAVISON

asked the Lord Privy Seal whether any steps are being taken to secure the application of the provision of the International Opium Convention to this country and throughout the British Empire; and whether this matter can be brought before the Peace Conference with a view to the international enforcement of this convention?

Mr. C. HARMSWORTH

The question in regard to measures for the enforcement of the provisions of the International Opium Convention in the United Kingdom and throughout the British Empire should be addressed to the Secretary of State for Home Affairs and the Secretary of State for the Colonies respectively. So far as the international enforcement of the convention is concerned, I would refer the hon. Member to the answer I have just given to the hon. Member for Cheltenham.
