Mr. Astorasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether a reply has been received from the Japanese Government to the representations made in regard to the recent attack on three British Embassy cars in the neighbourhood of Shanghai?
§ Mr. EdenYes, Sir. The Japanese Government have addressed a Note to His Majesty's Ambassador at Tokyo giving the results of the investigations which they have made, offering apologies and stating that appropriate measures will be taken against the persons involved. His Majesty's Ambassador has been instructed to acknowledge the receipt of this Note and to inform the Japanese Government that His Majesty's 561W Government in the United Kingdom agree to regard the incident as closed. They have, however, asked to be informed in due course that the ap-appropriate measures have been taken.
