asked the Prime Minister whether His Majesty's Government have now reached any conclusions as to the van Zeeland Report; and whether His Majesty's Government are in communication with foreign and/or Dominion Governments thereon with a view to the implementing of any of the recommendations made by M. van Zee-land?

The report is being considered by the Departments concerned, and I am not yet in a position to make any statement on the subject. At the same time, His Majesty's Government are in consultation with the French Government, since it was at the invitation of the two Governments that M. van Zeeland prepared his report.
