HC Deb 23 February 1927 vol 202 c1732
1. Viscount SANDON

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, what was the cost involved in the re-issue of Card. Paper 2774?

The SECRETARY of STATE for FOREIGN AFFAIRS (Sir Austen Chamberlain)

After the presentation to Parliament of the Report of the Commission on Extra-Territoriality in China, Command Paper 2774, information was received from the Secretaries-General of the Commission that the copy of the British text supplied to the Foreign Office was not complete. In these circumstances it was deemed advisable to reissue the Command Paper in a complete form. The added passages will be found on pages 7 and 128 of the re-issued Command Paper. The cost involved in the re-issue of the Paper amounts to £18 1s. 6d.

Viscount SANDON

Could not this information have been given on a single sheet of paper?

Sir A. CHAMBERLAIN

With a document of some consequence like this, I thought it would be for the convenience of everybody concerned to have all the information correct and complete.
