Mr. MALONEasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether the policy of the present Government on the question of trained reserves remains the same as that indicated by Viscount Cecil when speaking to the twenty-sixth public meeting of the third session of the Preparatory Disarmament Commission on 11th April, 1927; and whether, in view of the collapse of the proposed Naval Agreement, the concession regarding Army-trained reserves still holds good?
Mr. LOCKER-LAMPSONI would refer the hon. Member to the full statement made yesterday in another place by the Acting Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs. If any further explanation is desired, the hon. Member will probably agree that it would be more convenient to deal with the matter during the Debate which is to take place next week.
Mr. MALONEasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether, in view of the non-acceptance by the naval Powers concerned of the terms of the proposed naval compromise, the Government has had further discussions with the French Government?
