HC Deb 10 March 1927 vol 203 cc1365-6
90. Mr. LANSBURY

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he will lay upon the Table of the House a copy of the protest sent to this country by Mr. Chen respecting the occupation of Chinese territory outside the international settlement at Shanghai by British troops, and the Foreign Secretary's reply to the protest?

Mr. LOCKER-LAMPSON

The text of Mr. Chen's protest against the despatch of troops to China was communicated to this House by my right hon. Friend the Foreign Secretary on 21st February. Mr. Chen has made no specific protest with regard to these troops taking up positions outside the International Settlement.

Mr. W. THORNE

May I ask whether the Government can persuade both the Northern and Southern Governments of China to stop the murder that is going on between the two armies?
