§ Mr. HORE-BELISHAasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether the two British ships "Wanhsien" and "Wantung," which were seized by General Yang-Sen on 30th August, have yet been released; whether they are now in a place of safety; and, if not, what news he has of them?
Mr. LOCKER-LAMPSONI would refer the hon. Member to the reply given 913W on the 28th September to the Leader of the Opposition. News has since been received of the safe arrival of the second steamer at Ichang.
