HC Deb 11 November 1926 vol 199 cc1280-1W
Mr. AMMON

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs to what Government and to whom the new Minister designate to China, Mr. Miles Lampson, has been accredited?

Mr. LOCKER-LAMPSON

Mr. Lamp-son's credentials are addressed to the President of the Republic of China. He has been instructed to defer the presentation of his letters until there is a President to whom His Majesty's Government are able to accord recognition, and in the meantime to communicate copies to the Minister for Foreign Affairs in Peking and to invite him to recognise him informally as Minister in order to enable him to enter upon his duties provisionally.
