HC Deb 10 May 1939 vol 347 cc487-8W
Sir J. Haslam

asked the Prime Minister whether he will call the attention of the Japanese Government to the difficulties experienced by the Shanghai Municipal Council in preserving law and order in the International Settlement owing to the chaotic conditions and lawlessness prevailing in the districts controlled by the Japanese Government surrounding the International Settlement?

Mr. Butler

The attention of the Japanese authorities has already been drawn to the difficulties to which my hon. Friend refers.
