HC Deb 25 July 1922 vol 157 cc228-30W
Mr. G. BARNES

asked the Lord Privy Seal if he is yet in a position to name a day for the presentation of conventions and recommendations arising out of the last International Conference?

Mr. CHAMBERLAIN

The texts of the draft conventions and recommendations have been presented to Parliament as a Command Paper No. 1612 of 1922. I am not yet in a position to name a day for discussion of the Government's policy respecting these draft conventions and recommendations. As stated, however, by my right hon. Friend the Prime Minister on Thursday last, in reply to the hon. Member for West Houghton (Mr. Rhys Davies), the period within which action must be taken does not expire until 19th May next.
