HC Deb 31 July 1935 vol 304 cc2630-1
10. Mr. NEIL MACLEAN

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he has any information regarding the efficacy of the efforts to combat the manufacture and traffic in narcotics in the northern provinces of China?

Sir S. HOARE

The Chinese Government have recently promulgated new regulations for the control of the drug traffic in the whole of China. His Majesty's Consular officers in China have been instructed to report on the efficacy of the new measures, but their reports have not yet been received.

Mr. MACLEAN

Will the reports be published when they are received?

Sir S. HOARE

I could not say offhand. I will look into the matter.
