HC Deb 24 February 1921 vol 138 c1168W
Sir J. D. REES

asked the Prime Minister whether, seeing that Parliament and not the League of Nations is responsible for the extent and administration of the British Empire, he will state to what extent, if at all, the latter authority can, at any stage, in any negotiation, prevail?

Mr. CHAMBERLAIN

This country is a signatory of the Covenant of the League of Nations, but obviously Parliament must decide what territory shall be administered by the British Government.
