Mr. Shawcrossasked the Minister of Transport if he will attend the international railway congress to be held in Switzerland at the end of June, in view of the importance of the occasion and the fact that foreign governments are to be represented by political heads of departments.
§ Mr. BarnesMy hon. Friend appears to be misinformed as to the representation at this conference. In accordance with past practice, the delegations of most of the Governments represented at the conference will be led by officials of high standing. The British Government delegation will be led by the Permanent Secretary of my Department.
