HC Deb 07 December 1953 vol 521 c1587
4. Mr. T. Reid

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs what warlike stores have been exported by Great Britain into Communist China in the last six months.

The Joint Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs (Mr. Anthony Nutting)

None, Sir.

Mr. Reid

Will the hon. Gentleman convey that information to Senator McCarthy and his dupes in the United States, if there are any simple minded people still left there?

Mr. Nutting

I can assure the hon. Gentleman that the embassy in Washington, the consulates in the United States and the British Information Service are kept fully aware of, and are supplied with all the facts relating to, our trade with China. They, in their turn, are doing their best to provide that information to the American newspapers.
