HC Deb 22 November 1954 vol 533 cc91-2W
Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if he is aware of the concern felt by the Chinese Government over the present position in Taiwan; and whether, in view of the success of the recent Geneva Conference, he will try to arrange a similar conference with the interested parties, or through the United Nations, with a view to resolving this international problem, thus preventing a worsening of the present position and the possibility of war.

Mr. Turton

Her Majesty's Government have seen the numerous statements about Formosa made recently by the Chinese Government. Her Majesty's Government are fully alive to the dangers of the situation in that area and are watching the position closely.
