HC Deb 09 July 1900 vol 85 c944
MR. JOSEPH WALTON (Yorkshire, W.R., Barnsley)

I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether, in view of the grave situation in China, Her Majesty's Government are arranging to further augment our naval and military forces there in addition to the increases already announced to the House.

*MR. BRODRICK

Considerable reinforcements both in men and ships are on the way, and Her Majesty's Government are quite prepared to take any action rendered necessary by the situation.
