§ 2. Mr. YEOasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if he will use his good offices with the Chinese and Japanese Governments to ensure, in the interests of British traders, full consideration being given to the claims of Chefu as the terminal port for the new railway in Shantung, particularly in view of the very extensive harbour works recently carried out at the port?
§ Lord ROBERT CECILI would refer the hon. Member to the answer given on the 8th of March on this subject to my hon. Friend the Member for Hammersmith. If an opportunity offers itself, His Majesty's Government will gladly represent the interests of the British traders in 801 the selection of Chefu for the terminus of the railway in question.
