§ Sir E. STOCKTONasked the Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether the Powers have decided to postpone the judicial conference on extraterritoriality in China indefinitely; and whether he will make it clear that this conference will not be commenced until there is some return in China to tranquillity?
§ Mr. RONALD McNEILLThe matter is still under consideration by the Governments concerned.
§ Sir E. STOCKTONasked the Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether the Government has considered the effect on Chinese internal politics of prohibiting Chinese agitators of any sort or kind from taking sanctuary in the international concessions; and whether the adoption of the policy will be considered?
§ Mr. McNEILLThe difficulties in the way of carrying out such a policy, both equitably and effectively, are such as to render the hon. Member's suggestion impracticable.
