§ 3. Sir E. STOCKTONasked the Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he has received any representations from the missionary bodies as to the serious effect on their work in China from the existing unrest; and whether the British Minister at Peking has been specially asked to press the Chinese Government to secure for them the measure of protection expected from any duly-constituted Government?
§ Mr. McNEILLThe answer to the first part of the question is in the negative. In regard to the second part, His Majesty's Minister will, of course, do all in his power to secure proper protection for the missionaries, as for other British subjects in China.
