asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he is aware that the British m.v. "Lady Wolmer" has been seized by the Chinese Nationalist authorities, and her four British officers detained; and what steps His Majesty's Government have taken to secure the release of this ship.

Yes. The ship, which was chartered to Chinese interests, was taken to Keelung in Formosa on 15th March. A full report is awaited from His Majesty's Consul at Tamsui on action taken.
