§ 2. Sir GEORGE SCOTT ROBERTSONasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he has any information concerning fighting between Tibetans and Chinese in Eastern Tibet?
§ Sir E. GREYBoth the Chinese and Tibetan Governments have agreed to a cessation of hostilities pending the conclusion of the negotiations now proceeding in India. I have reason to believe that orders issued for this purpose by both Governments have occasionally been disregarded by subordinates on both sides, and that skirmishes have taken place, but as far as can be ascertained there has been no fighting of a serious character.
