HC Deb 29 July 1926 vol 198 c2310
88. Mr. TREVELYAN

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he can now report as to the progress of the negotiations for the settlement of the Canton boycott of Hong Kong; and whether he will Wale the attitude of the British Government to the proposal referred to them for an impartial commission to investigate the Shameen shooting?

Mr. LOCKER-LAMPSON

The present position is that the Conference has been adjourned to enable the two delegations to consult their respective Governments on the proposals put forward by each side. With regard to the Chinese suggestion for an inquiry into the Shameen incident, I would refer the right hon. Gentleman to the answer returned yesterday to the hon. Member for North Battersea (Mr. Saklatvala).
