HC Deb 14 July 1926 vol 198 cc382-3
22. Mr. TREVELYAN

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether he is aware that the British senior naval officer at Wuchow closed the Port of Wuchow to Chinese shipping for 10 hours on 24th June last; whether this step was taken after consultation with His Majesty's Government; whether a demand for an apology and for compensation has been received; and what action His Majesty's Government proposes to take?

The FIRST LORD of the ADMIRALTY (Mr. Bridgeman)

I am awaiting a report from the Commander-in-Chief. As soon as it has been received, I will let the right hon. Member know.
