SECTION 3.
Question asked in the House of Commons, June 23, 1908.
Mr. Theodore Taylor, To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if the Governments of the United States and of China have already appointed their Representatives to the International Opium Commission; and what steps His Majesty's Government have taken, or are going to take, to be represented on that Commission.
Answer.
As far as I am aware, the answer to the first question is in the negative. As regards the second question, the matter is now under consideration. His Majesty's Government will, however, certainly send Representatives to the Commission, and do all in their power to further its objects.
