Mr. Harcourt, therefore, undertook to circulate a definite proposal to the Conference for consideration. At the meeting of June 8 the Conference resumed the discussion of the question of the proposed Standing Com- mittee of the Imperial Conference which had been brought forward by the Imperial Government!

In accordance with this resolution two subsidiary Conferences—the Defence Conference of 1909 and the Copyright Conference of 1910— had been held, and His Majesty’s Government now suggested that any matters which could not conveniently be dealt with by subsidiary Conferences should be referred, with the con- sent of the several Governments, to a Standing Committee of the Imperial Conference, which would thus be a subsidiary Conference not limited to one subject, and meeting at more or less regular intervals for the transaction of business referred to it by the Secretary of State for the Colonies with the assent of the Dominion Governments. As a parallel to such a Committee were adduced the Standing Committee of the Board of Trade, which advised the Board of Trade on commercial intelligence and the diffusion of commercial information, and the Advisory Committee appointed to advise the Board of Trade and the Colonial Office upon the administrative work of the Imperial Institute, and reference * Cd. 5745, pp. 173 seq. 2 See Cd. 5746-1, pp. 212-4,
