§ Mr. Wyattasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies what is the estimated revenue received in this country from British-owned business firms in Hong Kong in each of the years 1937, 1938, 1947, 1948 and 1949.
Mr. Creech JonesNo official estimates of the revenue received in this country from British-owned business firms in Hong Kong have been prepared and I am unaware that any unofficial ones exist.
§ Mt. Wyattasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies what is the estimated value of all British assets and investments in Hong Kong.
Mr. Creech JonesNo official estimates of the value of British assets and investments in Hong Kong have been prepared. The last unofficial estimate known to me was made too long ago to be of use (estimate for 1929 made by Professor Remer in his "Foreign Investment in China," 1933).
