asked the President whether he can state if further consideration has been given by the Executive Council to the Report of the Commission appointed to inquire into the grievances of British ex-servicemen, and if he can make a statement with regard to the action proposed to be taken as a result of such consideration.

The examination by the various Departments of State of the Report of the Committee on Claims of British ex-servicemen has now been completed. The report is being considered in the light of the Departmental memoranda and I hope to be in a position to make a statement shortly on the matter.
