§ 3. Captain Gammansasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether, in the general decision to relinquish extra territorial rights in China, any agreement has been reached regarding the future status of the International Settlement in Shanghai?
§ Mr. EdenThe negotiations with the Chinese Government for the relinquishment of extra-territorial rights in China have not yet begun but I hope that they will be opened in the near future. My hon. Friend will understand that I am not able to make any statement at this time, although the International Settlement at Shanghai will naturally be one of the subjects for discussion.
§ Captain GammansWill my right hon. Friend see that in these negotiations the position of the Shanghai municipal pensioners will not be lost sight of?
§ Mr. EdenI think there is another Question about that matter to which a separate reply is being given.
