As regards the first part of the question, I would refer the hon. Member to the reply given by my right hon. Friend the Prime Minister to a similar question by the hon. Member for Macclesfield on the 24th October. In regard to the last part, it is obviously impossible for me to give any information regarding particular questions discussed at the Conference.

Will the right hon. Gentleman consider the desirability of suggesting during the Conference an extension of the truce to an economic truce as well as a military truce?

What is the use of extending a truce which is only being kept on one side?
