§ 40. Mr. TREVELYANasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he is aware that the ambassador appointed by the Soviet Government to succeed M. Karakhan in China has been prevented from proceeding beyond Harbin; and whether His Majesty's Government has made any protest against his being refused admission to China?
§ Commander BELLAIRSIs this question in order? It concerns two foreign Powers, and does not concern us at all.
§ Mr. SPEAKERThe last part, which asks "whether His Majesty's Government has made any protest," brings it into order.
Mr. LOCKER-LAMPSONI have no official information confirming the alleged incident, which would in any case constitute no occasion for intervention on the part of His Majesty's Government.
