§ Mr. HALL-CAINEasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether any recent steps have been taken to obtain international agreement on the discharge of oil within 50 miles of the coast?
§ The PRIME MINISTERI am afraid that there is not much that I can usefully add at the moment to the replies given to my hon. Friend the Member for South 399W Kensington (Sir W. Davison) and to my hon. Friend the Member for Brighton (Sir C. Rawson) on 16th December and 4th March, respectively. I should like, however, to repeat that His Majesty's Government are for their part most anxious that international agreement should be secured on this matter which will have the result of effectively lessening the evil in question, and they will do all that they can to bring this about. I understand that it is hoped in any event to bring the position again under review at the ordinary session of the League Council in September.
