HC Deb 02 March 1938 vol 332 cc1122-3W
Mr. Thorne

asked the Prime Minister why he will not inform the House what questions Lord Perth, our Ambassador in Rome, has been instructed to discuss with Count Ciano, the Italian Foreign Secretary?

The Prime Minister

I have already stated that we hope that all questions which might form the subject of possible disagreement between the Italian Government and ourselves will be discussed during the forthcoming conversations, but I do not think it desirable at this stage to publish a list of such subjects.

Mr. R. Duckworth

asked the Prime Minister whether, in connection with the policy of direct conversations, it is proposed to make any changes in the British diplomatic staffs in the countries mainly concerned?

The Prime Minister

No, Sir.
