§ Mr. PONSONBYasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he will give a list of the treaties, other than commercial treaties and conventions, concluded since 1924 between nations members of the League of Nations and between members of the League and nations not members of the League, giving the date of their signature and ratification, the date of their registration with the League of Nations secretariat, under Article 18 of the Covenant, and noting in which cases their terms have not been published?
§ Sir A. CHAMBERLAINUnder Article 18 of the Covenant every treaty entered into by any member of the League has to be registered with the secretariat before it is binding. As I informed the hon. Member on the 6th instant, I am not aware that any treaties since 1919 between States members of the League have not been so registered, and this applies equally to treaties between members and non-members. Nor have I any reason to suppose that such treaties, with all necessary particulars, are not forthwith published by the League, under Article 18, in the 'League of Nations Treaty Series. I would therefore invite the hon. Member to refer to that publication, of which he will find a copy in the Library of the House.
