HC Deb 20 July 1939 vol 350 c745W
Mr. A. Henderson

asked the Prime Minister whether any Governments with representatives in China have now obtained full information regarding cases of bombardment by Japanese aircraft of civilians; whether such information has now been sent to the Council of the League of Nations in accordance with its resolution of May, 1939; and whether His Majesty's Government's representative on the Council will ask for its publication forthwith?

Mr. Butler

My Noble Friend has had no reports on this subject from the Secretariat of the League of Nations. It will be recalled that at the time when the resolution was adopted, His Majesty's Government, in common with other Governments represented on the Council, agreed that reports received by the Council should be published, provided that the Government which furnished them raised no objection.
