§ Sir G. Jeffreysasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether his attention has been called to the allegation that British subjects in a camp at Nanping, Fukien, have been so badly treated by the Japanese that two-thirds of them have died of starvation and illness; and whether he proposes, through the Protecting Power, to make proposals to the Japanese Government as to action we shall feel called upon to take if this treatment continues?
§ Mr. LawI am glad to say that the Press report to which my hon. and gallant Friend refers is untrue. Nanping is in unoccupied China and there is no Japanese camp there.
