§ Captain W. BENNasked the Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if he would give a complete list of all Commissions which have been appointed under the four Peace Treaties, and, approximately, the cost of each Commission to date, adding information as to the source from which the cost is to be defrayed?
§ Earl WINTERTONThe following is a list of the various Commissions appointed under the Treaties of Versailles, St. Germain, Trianon and Neuilly. The source from which the cost of each Commission is to be defrayed is indicated in each case. It is, however, impossible to estimate the cost of these Commissions to date. Figures relating to the British section of each Commission might be collected, but in the absence of corresponding information relating to the other Allied sections, there would be no reliable guide as to the total cost.
