§ Mr. LANSBURYasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he has received a copy of the Report of the Chinese Commissioner, Mr. Teng Hung Chang, appointed to inquire into the causes which led up to the recent disturbances and loss of life at Hankow, which resulted in the death of eight Chinese citizens, one of whom was a child, and in which the Commissioner states that the causes of the shooting were the unwarranted movement of a British warship and the bayoneting of a Chinese trade unionist; and whether, in order that these matters may be cleared up, he will publish a full copy of the Commissioner's Report, together with all Reports received from British civil and naval authorities responsible for the action taken at Hankow?
§ Mr. McNEILLThe answer to the first part of the question is in the negative. The official telegraphic reports which I660W have received were summarised in the reply to a question by the Member for Central Newcastle (Mr. Trevelyan) on the 15th of June. I am not in a position to answer the last part of the question, as I am not yet in possession of the Reports to which reference is made.
