§ Mr. McELWEEasked the Home Secretary whether the Government propose to send representatives to the League of Nations conference in October on the reform of the calendar?
§ Mr. CLYNESThe conference in question is a General Conference on Communications and Transit and the reform of the calendar is one of a number of items on the agenda. His Majesty's Government will be represented at the conference.
§ Mr. McELWEEasked the Home Secretary if he will consider the appointment of a Departmental Committee to consider information available on the question of the reform of the calendar?
§ Mr. CLYNESI do not think there is any need to appoint a Departmental Committee. The question has been studied by a League of Nations Committee, and is to be considered this autumn by the League of Nations General Conference on Communications and Transit. When the results of this conference are received, they will, of course, be carefully considered by His Majesty's Government.
