§ Mr. DALTONAs the hon. Member is aware, the Convention has not yet been signed by all the permament members of the Council. My right hon. Friend trusts that the outstanding signatures will not be long delayed; and he will take the opportunity of the present meeting of the Council to inquire of his colleagues about the prospects of signature and ratification by their respective Governments.
