§ 2. Sir KINGSLEY WOODasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he is aware that the Canton Government have now seized the Customs at Kowloon, Lapfa, Kongmoon, Samshui, Kiungshow, Pakhoi, and Hoihow; and whether he is taking any action in the matter?
§ Mr. DALTONMy right hon. Friend has seen statements in the Press to this effect, but he has received no official reports on the subject. In any case, no action by His Majesty's Government seems to be called for.
§ Sir K. WOODMay I ask whether the Foreign Secretary proposes to make any inquiries in this matter?
§ Mr. DALTONI do not think that is necessary. Sir Miles Lampson has kept us fully informed of what has been happening in Canton, and, if there be any truth in these Press allegations, no doubt he will let us know.
