HC Deb 25 July 1940 vol 363 c998W
Mr. J. Morgan

asked the Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether the decision to close the Burma road to war supplies for China is subject to revision in the event of Japan stimulating further action of a kind disapproved of by the British Government as a further encroachment on British interests or prestige in the Far East during the period over which the agreement operates?

Mr. Butler

I have no reason to suppose that the hypothesis contemplated by the hon. Member represents the intention of the Japanese Government. I am consequently not in a position to make a statement.
