§ Sir H. BRITTAINasked the Prime Minister whether he has received any expressions of opinion from the Dominions with regard to the decision 65W reached on the Motion of Imperial Preference as agreed upon at the recent Imperial Economic Conference; and, if not, whether he will invite the High Commissioners to forward such expressions of opinion to him so that the country may be made aware of the view taken in the matter throughout the Empire?
Mr. THOMASIf, as I understand, the first part of the hon. Member's question relates to expressions of opinion from the Dominions Governments on the decisions taken by this House on the Motions before it last week, the answer is in the negative. I do not think it would be advisable to adopt the suggestion made in the second part of the question.
