Part of the debate – in the House of Commons am 12:00 am ar 17 Mehefin 1947.
There is not the delay which my hon. Friend represents. Actually my hon. Friend wrote to me on 3rd February, and he withdrew his question on the understanding that we would let him have a report as soon as we could; but I am bound to tell the House that these negotiations are so complicated, and involve a number of other Government Departments, that an early decision will not be possible.
