HC Deb 20 July 1900 vol 86 c642
MR. JOHN WILSON (Falkirk Burghs)

I wish to ask the Under Secretary for Foreign Affairs whether the statement is true, which has appeared in one paper, that sixty missionaries have been massacred in Shan-si.

* MR. BRODRICK

I have seen the statement which appeared in one paper, but Her Majesty's Government have no confirmation of it, and we are in hopes that it may not be correct.
