HC Deb 10 March 1930 vol 236 c947W
Mr. D. G. SOMERVILLE

asked the Prime Minister whether, for the information of the public, he can now make any statement as to the progress of the Five-Power Naval Conference; and whether any agreement has now been reached on any point?

Mr. P. SNOWDEN

While steady and satisfactory progress is being made and while tentative agreements have been reached on a number of points, my right hon. Friend does not consider that it would be in the interests of the conference to deal with these matters piecemeal at the present time.
