§ 96. Sir W. Teelingasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs in view of the fact that Taiwan is prepared to provide Hong Kong with all daily necessities such as rice, meat, vegetables and fruits during the present period of unrest, whether he will send a suitable acknowledgment of this gesture to the Provincial Government and the people of Taiwan.
§ Mr. William RodgersTo my knowledge, the Taiwan authorities have made no direct approach to us to supply food to Hong Kong. The question of an acknowledgment does not therefore arise.
