§ Mr. MANDERasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he will consider the advisability of appointing a woman as one of the three principal delegates in the British delegation to the League of Nations Assembly this year?
Mr. A. HENDERSONThe composition of the British delegation to the Assembly of the League of Nations was announced by me in the reply to the question by my hon. Friend the Member for Lincoln (Mr. R. Taylor) on the 4th instant. The rules of the League only make provision for three principal delegates from each country and these posts will be filled so far as the British delegation is concerned by the Prime Minister, the President of the Board of Trade and myself. I would, however, draw the hon. Member's attention to the fact that for the first time two women will be included in our representation at the Assembly.
