§ Mr. Bellengerasked the Prime Minister what were the circumstances connected with the forcible entry by Japanese blue-jackets into the Hongkew General Hospital, Shanghai, and the reported assault on the British Assistant-Commissioner of police; and whether any action has been taken by His Majesty's Government?
§ Mr. ButlerDr. Bertram Lillie, principal of the Lester School and Henry Lillie Institution, was killed about 9 p.m. on the 24th April as the result of a collision between a car that he was driving and a Japanese motor-bus. Mrs. Lillie sustained superficial injuries and severe shock and a British Municipal Police sergeant riding in the car at the same time was badly injured. A Japanese marine standing on the running-board was injured and subsequently died. After the admittance to the general hospital of Mrs. Lillie and the police sergeant, Japanese marines forced their way into the hospital with the object of making inquiries. The facts of the case are obscure and the question whether any action by His Majesty's Government is appropriate must await full investigation and statements from Mrs. Lillie and the police sergeant, who are understood to be recovering.
