§ Captain Wallace:His Majesty's Government in the United Kingdom are not empowered to require the submission of such a report; it would be for the participating Governments as a whole to decide whether the Conference should be asked to make one. A communiqué is usually issued to the Press after each meeting; but I will bring the hon. Member's suggestion to the notice of the Conference.
