6. Mr. ROBINSONasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if any statement as to the British position in China was issued to the whole-and part-time news representatives receiving pay from this country for service overseas; and, if so, will he state the nature of the statement issued to them for circulation in the countries in which they are stationed?
Mr. LOCKER-LAMPSONNo official statement as to the British position in China has been issued to the whole- and part-time news representatives receiving 1162 pay from this country for services overseas apart from the texts of official declaration of His Majesty's Government's policy which reach these officers as a matter of routine. The publication of such statements abroad is secured telegraphically through the British Official Wireless, the news services of British and foreign Press agencies and the correspondents of foreign newspapers in London.
Mr. LOCKER-LAMPSONAn answer was given by my right hon. Friend the other day, giving full information. I will send my hon. Friend a copy of it.
