HC Deb 18 March 1936 vol 310 cc412-3
14. Lieut. - Commander FLETCHER

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Admiralty whether one of His Majesty's ships is to convey back to China the loans of the Chinese Government to the recent exhibition of Chinese art?

Lord STANLEY

It has not been possible to arrange for the conveyance of these treasures in one of His Majesty's ships, but I hope that it will be possible for the ship, carrying them to be escorted by His Majesty's ships for most of her voyage.
