HC Deb 27 February 1935 vol 298 c1127
7. Mr. JOEL

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether the new agreement between China and Japan affects the economic or other interests of Great Britain; and whether it in any way modifies or reverses the conclusions of the Washington Conference?

Sir J. SIMON

As my right hon. Friend the Lord Privy Seal indicated in reply to a question put yesterday by the hon. Member for Wolverhampton East (Mr. Mander), His Majesty's Government have still no definite information as to the purport of the conversations in Nanking between representatives of the Chinese and Japanese Governments. So far as I am aware no general agreement between the two countries has been concluded.
