In the House of Lords Lord Strathspey asked if the Dominions would be offered seats in Parliament at the Imperial Conference. Viscount Long called such a move unconstitutional and farcical, while the Duke of Devonshire warned of hurdles in Commons seating. He noted a 1917 Federal Parliament idea as problematic against Dominion rights. Long added that closer association through rapid communications would be considered at the Conference.
