Part of the debate – in the House of Commons am ar 14 Mai 1924.
I rise to deal merely with the question of the White Paper, which is rather an important matter. As I understand it, the hon. and learned Gentleman has said it was due to an oversight that the statement was not published. I am very glad to hear it is the intention of the Deputy-Leader of the House in no wise to depart from the practice of previous Governments and always publishing the fullest information on Resolutions of this kind. This is a right which is very jealously guarded, and it has been the subject of protest on former occasions. On the face of it it looked rather like a departure from practice that no information should be published with the Resolution, and I am very glad to hear that there is no intention to depart from the practice.
