HC Deb 05 March 1924 vol 170 c1357
10. Lieut.-Colonel HOWARD-BURY

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he has received a report from the British Agent at Gyantse with regard to the reported flight of the Tashi Lama from Shigatse; whether he has any information with regard to the reasons for his flight; and whether he has gone to India or to China?

Mr. PONSONBY

The Tashi Lama fled from Shigatse towards the end of last December. The reason for his flight appears to be a disagreement with the Tibetan Government. His present whereabouts are unknown; he has not entered India, and no intelligence has been received of his having reached China.
