HC Deb 05 March 1925 vol 181 cc676-7W
Mr. PONSONBY

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he can report to the House what conclusions were arrived at by the League of Nations Committee on the Manufacture of Armaments, on which the Parliamentary Under-Secretary recently served at Geneva?

Mr. CHAMBERLAIN

The Commission decided that the drafting of a Convention on the control of the private manufacture of arms should be adjourned until it is possible to judge of the results obtained by the conference on the control of the trade in arms and munitions which is to take place in the month of May next. Meanwhile a small committee will collect information and will prepare suggestions for future consideration.
