CHINA (MEDICAL SUPPLIES).

HC Deb 01 August 1940 vol 363 cc1435-6W

Sir E. Graham-Little

asked the Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether the closing of the Burma Road will entail the stoppage of all Red Cross and medical supplies for China, or whether special exception will be made in these cases?

Mr. Butler

Red Cross and medical supplies are not within the categories of goods the passage of which by the Burma road is forbidden.
