§ Mr. HARMOOD-BANNERasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if he would state the present position of the six-Power group loan with China; and whether Great Britain still insists on terms which are not acceptable to the borrowers and many of the lenders; and whether it is the intention to continue the policy of preventing any other arrangements for loan however they may be agreed between lenders and borrowers?
§ Sir E. GREYThe negotiations for the Chinese Reorganisation Loan are still in progress and are therefore still confidential. No terms have been proposed to the Chinese Government which have not received the unanimous approval of the six Powers interested, and, as a matter of fact, terms are now under the consideration of the Chinese Government that have the unanimous approval of the six Powers. Pending the negotiations with regard to the issue of the Reorganisation Loan, his Majesty's Government will continue to give their exclusive support to the groups who are negotiating that loan.
