MR. RICHAED

asked the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, Whether Her Majesty's Government claim the right, under existing Treaties and Conventions with the Government of China, for British merchandise to enter into Thibet; and, whether the right to introduce opium is included in such claim?

The Treaties and Conventions between this country and China do not stipulate for the entrance of British merchandize into Thibet.
