HC Deb 08 July 1935 vol 304 c8
7. Sir CYRIL COBB

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs what are the intentions of the Japanese Government regarding the contributions of Tientsin to the Chinese maritime customs revenues, in view of the non-contribution to those revenues by the Manchurian ports taken over by Japan in 1932?

Sir S. HOARE

I have no reason to think that the Japanese Government have any special intentions in regard to the customs revenues at Tientsin which are not under their control and which, so far as I am aware, continue, in common with those of other Chinese ports, to be remitted to the Chinese Central Government.
