HC Deb 19 March 1907 vol 171 c657
MAJOR ANSTRUTHER-GRAY (St. Andrews Burghs)

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he has received any information from the British Consul General at Shanghai with regard to the murder of Police-constable Morrow, who was shot dead by a gang of armed robbers on the outskirts of the town; and whether he will cause representations to be made to the Chinese Government with a view to preventing a recurrence of such an outrage.

THE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR FOREIGN AFFAIRS (Sir Edward Grey, Northumberland, Berwick)

We have no information on the subject. But inquiries have been made by telegraph of His Majesty's Minister at Peking, and the result will be communicated to the hon. Member.

MAJOR ANSTRUTHER GRAY

Will further inquiries be telegraphed?

SIR EDWARD GREY

They have been telegraphed, but the Answer may come by post, as the question is a very complicated one.
