§ 19. Mr. Dayasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs how many British subjects have died in captivity in China during the previous three years; and whether the British authorities in China continue to warn all British subjects before they proceed to or reside in districts where there is known or believed to be danger?
§ Viscount CranborneTo the best of my knowledge, only one British subject has died in captivity in China during the last 14 three years, Mr. Gareth Jones. The British authorities in China continue to warn all British subjects who give them the opportunity of doing so before they proceed to districts where there is known or believed to be danger.
§ Mr. DayHas the Noble Lord's Department any record of warnings which have been given to British subjects?
§ Viscount CranborneI should like notice of that question.
