§ 11. Mr. MORGAN JONESasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs the result of the representations made on behalf of the Government of India by the British Ambassador in Paris to the French Government regarding the expulsion of Indian bankers by the Government of Indo-China?
§ Sir J. SIMONThe representations made by His Majesty's Ambassador in Paris were not successful as regards obtaining the postponement of the orders of expulsion against the four Indian bankers who were deported from Indo- 1207 China at the end of March. I have not heard that any further expulsions have since taken place, but further representations are being made on the whole subject.
§ Mr. JONESCan the right hon. Gentleman indicate to the House the reasons why these people were expelled?
§ Sir J. SIMONThe matter is under dispute, and, as I say, further representations are being made.
