asked the Prime Minister whether, in view of the general interest in the question of the limitation of armaments, he will, when making his promised statement to the House upon the Treaty of Mutual Assistance, provide opportunity for discussion upon the question?

The suggestion has been made that this question may be raised this week in the course of business, which means that a discussion is possible.

Is it still the intention of the Prime Minister to make a statement on this question?

I never said that it was my intention to make a statement on this question, but that if any question were raised I would be prepared to answer it.
