14. Captain ARTHUR EVANSasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether the Foreign Office, in consultation with His Majesty's Legation in China, have concluded their examination of Mr. E. Lenox Simpson's claim for compensation as a result of his having been forced by the Japanese Government to leave Harbin for Dairen?
§ Mr. EDENThe examination of Mr. Lenox Simpson's claim against the Manchurian authorities is not quite complete, but I hope that a decision will shortly be reached. It will be communicated to Mr. Simpson as soon as it has been taken.
