HC Deb 30 July 1941 vol 373 c1425W
Mr. Martin

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether his attention has been drawn to the recent speech in Washington of the United States acting Secretary of State suggesting that the governments of peace-loving nations should even now be discussing how best to prepare for better times to come; and whether he is contemplating entering into such discussions?

Mr. Eden

The answer to the first part of the Question is in the affirmative. As regards the second part, I can assure my hon. Friend that we have the considerations he mentions very much in mind. Indeed I hope that we may shortly be able to hold another meeting of the Governments of the Allied Powers at which we can begin the examination of post-war problems.
