Part of the debate – in the House of Commons at on 27 March 1935.

The question of the establishment of an international police force under the League of Nations was discussed in this House on the Motion introduced by the hon. Member on 13th December, 1933. On that occasion the Lord Privy Seal explained the reasons why the establishment of such a force is not practicable or desirable at the present time. I cannot do better than refer the hon. Member to my right hon. Friend's remarks on that occasion, which still represent the attitude of the Government. In the circumstances, the appointment of a committee to consider this question would not serve any useful purpose.
