§ Mr. HANCOCKasked the Prime Minister what agreements have been entered into by various nations since November, 1918, give dates of such agreements, and names of nations subscribing thereto?
§ Earl WINTERTONAn exhaustive return would comprise some hundreds of agreements and entail much laborious research; and I could not guarantee its completeness in respect to agreements to which this country is not a party. I would, however, refer the hon. Member to the "Treaty Series" issued by the League of Nations, with whom all international agreements concluded by members of the League have now to be registered forthwith, and by whom all such agreements have to be published as soon as possible after registration. A new volume of "British and Foreign State Papers" covering the year 1919 is on the point of being published, in which the texts of all the more important international agreements are printed; and the hon. Member will also find two unofficial lists (1919–20 and 1920–21), which may be sufficiently complete for his purpose, in the first two volumes of the "British Year Book of International Law."
