HC Deb 25 November 1925 vol 188 c1387W
Mr. RENNIE SMITH

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he has been invited by the Swiss Government to enter into a general arbitration treaty with Switzerland: and, if so, what answer he has given to the invitation?

Mr. CHAMBERLAIN

An unofficial suggestion was received from the Swiss Government in 1924, that His Majesty's Government should conclude a treaty with Switzerland on the lines of the treaty concluded in that year between Italy and Switzerland. His Majesty's G6vernment are not persuaded that it would be advantageous to enter into a treaty of this character.
