§ 31. Mr. Haleasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs what representations he has received from the Japanese Government with reference to the fall of atomic rain following the recent British atomic bomb detonations; and what reply he has sent with reference to the matter.
§ Mr. Selwyn LloydI have received no such representations.
§ Mr. HaleWhether or not the right hon. and learned Gentleman has received representations, does not he know that it was announced by the B.B.C. that this had happened; and that there is a school of scientists who believe that these experiments are a menace to the foundation of human life on the whole planet? Will the right hon. and learned Gentleman look into the matter as one of the most important things happening today?
§ Mr. LloydThe hon. Gentleman asked me what representations I had received from the Japanese Government with regard to this matter. The answer is, "None," and therefore no reply has been sent.
