HC Deb 29 January 1929 vol 224 c774W
Mr. WARD LAW-MILNE

asked the Secretary of State for War what units of the British Army now comprise the Shanghai Defence Force; and what troops of other Powers, if any, are incorporated in that force?

Sir L. WORTHINGTON-EVANS

The additional British troops sent to China as the Shanghai Defence Force have for some time been divided between the North and South China Commands. Of the additional battalions which will still be in China at the end of this trooping season three will be stationed in the North China Command and one stationed in the South China Command. No troops belonging to other Powers were at any time incorporated in the Shanghai Defence Force.
