CHINA INDEMNITY BILL
(Previous
Reference: Cabinet 61 (26) Con- clusion 5)
6. The Secretary of State for Foreign
Affairs drew the attention of the Cabinet to a
telegram from Sir Miles Lampson, No.220, dated
February 1st, in which the British Minister at
Peking urged strongly the enactment of the
China Indemnity Bill. Notwithstanding that
the Parliamentary Under-Secretary had recently
been authorised to inform the Committee of
Home A fairs that the Foreign office would not
press for this Bill to be introduced in the
following Session, Sir Austen Chamberlain
warned his colleagues that, in view of Sir
Miles Lampson's telegram, it might be
necessary for him to raise the question.
