§ Mr. Whitneyasked the Lord Privy Seal what assistance the British embassy in Peking has provided for the launching of the Chinese-sponsored English language newspaper in Peking; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. RidleyWe welcome the recent launch of the English-languageChina Daily. The principal sources of advice and assistance have been newspaper publishing organisations from Britain and elsewhere in the English-speaking world. The British embassy has also provided and continues to provide additional help and material—for example, BBC bulletins, Government news releases, photographs, back-copies of British newspapers and reference books.
