HC Deb 08 December 1938 vol 342 cc1369-70W
Mr. R. Morgan

asked the Prime Minister whether, in view of the League of Nations resolution that the Powers sympathetic to China should give her such practicable assistance as was in their power, he will consider what joint action by such Powers can be taken to alleviate the misery and suffering of the civilian refugees in China?

Mr. Butler

In accordance with the resolution referred to by my hon. Friend, the proposal, for the maintenance of the present anti-epidemic work and the continuance of normal technical collaboration, submitted by the Chinese Government to the Assembly in September last were accepted in principle, and the necessary credit will be included in the 1939 Budget of the League.
