HC Deb 23 July 1929 vol 230 c1103W
Captain CROOKSHANK

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether the preliminaries to the negotiations with Russia are being carried out with the assent of any, and, if so, which, of the Dominions?

Mr. DALTON

I have been asked to reply. I would refer the hon. and gallant Member to the statement made by the Prime Minister on 11th July, in reply to the hon. Member for Chislehurst (Mr. Smithers), as regards publication of the correspondence with the Dominions. I may add, however, that the precise method of conducting the preliminary negotiations is a matter for His Majesty's Government in the United Kingdom.
