HC Deb 28 November 1946 vol 430 c348W
111. Sir P. Hannon

asked the President of the Board of Trade if he will make a statement on the plans which have been devised and are about to become operative on the rehabilitation of British trade in China.

Sir S. Cripps

I am not clear what the hon. Member has in mind. Before formulating any such plans, I await the report of the trade mission which, as the hon. Member knows, is now in China, and which I have asked to study the question of rehabilitating our commercial enterprises in China as well as the development of our trade with China.
