As regards the partion of the Indemnity
116
already paid to the China Indemnity Fund, it will be
necessary for a Bill to be introduced by the Foreign
Office and passed through Parliament to amend the China
Indemnity Application Act, 1925, before the auM S
standing to the credit of the Fund can be dealt with
as proposed.
My Lords have no observations to offer on
the draft telegram which it is proposed to send to
Sir Miles Lampeon except for the point referred to
above.
My Lords will be prepared in due course to
give to Parliamentary Counsel formal instructions to
draft the necessary Bill, and They would be glad also
at the proper time to see a draft of the White Paper.
Copies of this letter are being sent to the
Board of Trade and to the Colonial Office.
