HC Deb 11 July 1928 vol 219 c2209
8. Viscount SANDON

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he has received any official notification from the new central Chinese Government as to the abolition of the name Peking and the substitution in its place of Peiping; and whether in future correspondence is to be so addressed?

Sir A. CHAMBERLAIN

I have no official information regarding the reported change of name.

Viscount SANDON

Has the right hon. Gentleman any unofficial information?

Sir A. CHAMBERLAIN

I think none, except perhaps what my noble Friend and I have read in the papers, but I think that Peking would still be a sufficient postal address.
