HC Deb 02 August 1906 vol 162 cc1350-1
MR. T. L. CORBETT (Down, N.)

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for India what steps he has taken, or intends † See (4) Debates, clxii., 698. taking, to give effect to the unanimous Vote of the House of Commons against the opium traffic between India and China.

MR. MORLEY

I would refer the hon. Member to the Answer I gave to a similar Question in this House on July 17th, as to the action which His Majesty's Government proposes to take in the matter, viz., first to ascertain exactly what the proposals and inclinations of the Chinese Government are, and secondly, to see whether they can in some way meet those views.
