HC Deb 21 November 1928 vol 222 c1701
1. Viscount SANDON

asked the Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether, in view of the composition of the Chinese section on the Board of Trustees of the United States Boxer Indemnity Fund having been changed illegally and contrary to the charter, and in view of the new members appointed being likely to endanger the success of the administration, any action will be taken by His Majesty's Government to forestall such a development in the case of the British fund?

The UNDER-SECRETARY of STATE for FOREIGN AFFAIRS (Mr. Godfrey Locker-Lampson)

In the case of the British fund no board of trustees has as yet been established, nor can it be established until a Bill to amend the 1925 Act has been passed through Parliament. His Majesty's Government have noted the change recently made in the Chino-American. Board of Trustees and will bear it in mind in considering their own future action.
