HC Deb 24 February 1933 vol 274 cc2043-4W
Mr. MANDER

asked the Minister of Labour what local education authorities

for greater safety either in Peeking or Tienstin?

Sir J. SIMON

I have no power to order British subjects to withdraw, and cannot do more than offer advice. His Majesty's Minister in China and His Majesty's Consular Officers have discretion to advise British subjects to withdraw from a disturbed or threatened area at any moment when it seems desirable. The situation can best be judged locally, and I have no information that any special warning has been issued.
