§ Mr. Manderasked the Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether, under the agreement recently made with Japan, Red Cross supplies and petrol therefor are permitted to be transported on the Burma Road; and whether this is now being arranged?
§ Mr. ButlerAs I informed my hon. Friend the Member for London University (Sir E. Graham-Little) on 1st August, Red Cross supplies are not within the prohibited categories and may freely be imported into China. Petrol is, however, included, and the question of petrol for Red Cross work is under consideration.
