§ Mr. SAKLATVALAasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if he has received, through British delegates sent to Canton, the proposal of the Canton Government to refer to an impartial Commission all questions of dispute between the Hong Kong and the Canton Governments, especially connected with the Shameen shooting and the anti-British boycott; and is it the intention of the British Government to agree to this proposal?
§ Sir A. CHAMBERLAINA report to this effect has just been received and is under consideration.
§ Mr. MACLEANasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs the estimated loss to date to British trade and/or merchants through the anti-British boycott in China?
§ Sir A. CHAMBERLAINI am afraid that it is impracticable to furnish even an approximate estimate.
