HC Deb 23 February 1944 vol 397 c812
17. Major Lloyd

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if he will approach the Government of the U.S.A. with a view to securing a copy of the documents, recently published by the State Department, exonerating this country from any breach of faith over the Manchurian crisis of 1931, and then making it available in the Library of this House.

Mr. Law

I presume my hon. and gallant Friend is referring to the documents recently published as "Foreign Relations of the United States, Japan, 1931 to 1941." As my right hon. Friend the Foreign Secretary informed my hon. Friend the Member for West Bristol (Mr. Culverwell) on 26th January, a copy of volume I has been placed in the Library. A copy of Volume II is being obtained and will be similarly made available for Members.
