11. Mr. MARDY JONES

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he can state the cost of the evacuation of the British community from the British concession in Hankow last January; by whose authority the expenditure was incurred; whether the return of the persons evacuated to Hankow will involve an equal expenditure; and, if not, how much it will cost and whether these expenses will be charged to public funds?
