with the Chinese Government are continuing. We have made it clear that
there are no obstacles on our side to an exchange of ambassadors. It
would not be helpful to our improving relations, or to Mis Yang's case,
to introduce preconditions at this stage. We have left the Chinese
Government in no doubt of the continu- ing public concern about Mrs.
Yang and the three other British subjects who have been detained for so
long in China,

Mr. Gorst: I wank my hon. Friend for the tenacity which he and the
Foreign Office have shown over a period of more than a year on this
subject. Will be now instruct our chargé d'affaires, who I understand
has taken up his post today, to place this important case high on his
list of priorities and to secure more infor- mation for my constituent
about her sister?

Mr. Royle: This is certaintly one of the subjects on which we hope to
make progress if an agreement on an exchange of amabassadors is reached.
In the mean- time we are continuing our efforts to obtain Mrs. Yang's
release from deten- tion and certainly our chargé d'affaires on arrival
in Peking will again raise the subject with the Chinese authorities.

Mr. Dalyell: As to the exchange of ambassadors, why do we have to pursue
American policy on Taiwan, a policy which incidentally, among other
thing, is against British national interest?

Mr. Royle: I did not know that we were pursuing American

policy on Taiwan. Her Majesty's Government do not recognise the

on Taiwan. We maintain a consulate in Tamsui, but that consulate has
dealings only with the local provincial authorities.

Mr. Healey: Is not the only obstacle to the exchange of ambassadors,
which I was glad to hear the hon. Gentleman say was Her Majesty's
Government's objective. the refusal to confire the deci sion taken by
Sir Winston Churchill et the conferences at Cairo and Poisdana that
Taiwan was part of China? Given that the roling that the status of
Taiwan was undetermined was made 20 years ago, is it not time for Her
Majesty's Govern- ment to recognise the fact and pursue Britain's
interests in this matter??

Mr. Royle: These are among the many matters now under discussion with
the Chinese Government. I think the right hon. Gentleman will understand
that it would not be helpful to go into them in detail while these
discussions with the Chinese Government are in progress.

Nuclear Disarmament Conference

15. Mr. Booth asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonscaltlı
Affairs what progress has been mude towards the convening of the
live-Power nuclear disarmament conference proposed by the Union of
Soviet Socialist Republics last June.

54. Mr. Frank Allaun asked the Sec. retary of Sinte for Foreign and
Common- wealth Affairs what progress has been made towards the convening
of the five- Power nuclear disarmament conference proposed by the Union
of Soviet Socialist Republics.

Mr. Anthony Royle: None. Sir. China made it clear in July last year that
she would not attend such a conference. The proposal has now been
overtaken by dis- cussions in the United Nations General Assembly on a
world disarmament con- ference.

Mr. Booth: As no progress has been made towards the live-Power nuclear
dis-

armament conference, would the Minister agree that it is now urgent that
we pro- ceed to a European security conference on the basis of the
Finuish Government's proposal? Would he assure the House that Britain
will not be seen to be drag- ging her feet or acting as a stumbling
block in the path of a European security

Chinese legation rejects petition about detainee

The Chinese 1 egation in i ondan refused yesterday to accept a peti-
tian, supported by 20,000 signa- tures, from the brother and sister of a
British subject, Mrs Ciladys Yang, who is being detained in China.

The petition urged that Mrs Yang, aged 53, should be allowed to
correspond with her family. An Oxford graduate. Mrs Yang went to China
in 1940

Mrs Hilda Brown, a former college lecturer, of Mill Hill, Lon- don, and
her brother, Mr Harold Taylor, a teacher from the Isle of Wight, were
accompanied to the legation by their MP, Mr John Gont (C, Hendon.
North), and Me Mark Woodnutí (C. Isle of Wight).

After less than eight minutes in the legation. Mr Görst said: "Wo were
received with incredible frigidity and inscrutable rudeness. The thaw
between China and the United States certainly does not keen to have hit
this country yet."

Mr Woodnutt said he would be tabling a motion to the Foreign Secretary

In view of the changing balance of its activities, my right hon. Friend

$5. Mr. Gorst asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth
Affairs. whether he will make a further statement on the prospects of
release for Mrs. Gladys Yang in the light of the improved relations
between China and the West following President Nixon's recent visit to
Peking.

Mr. Anthony Royle: The agreement on an exchange of ambassadors, which my
right hon. I'riend announced in his statement this afternoon, reflects
the im- provement of our relations with China. In the light of this
improvement we hope soon to secure the release of theist British
subjects detained in China-in-

to do all we can to achieve this.

Mr. Ridley: No such restriction was specifically imposed but directions
were issued under Section 17(2) of the Emerg- ency Regulations, 1972, to

use of electricity, except for certain listed purposes. on specified

than have items concerning the Church of England coming before the
House? I know that it is the established Church but is it not time that
a Select Com-

mittee had a look at the procedure of raising questions of this kind and
other matters relating to the Church of England? We are not all members
of the Church of England-right hon, and hoa. Members may be Methodists
or Roman Catholics, for example, and we may have Moslems in the House
sooner or later. In these circumstances, is it not time we had a look at
the whole issue? Could we not have a Select Committee to go into the
matter? I say this as a member of the Church of England. It is about
time we got away from the archaic prac tice of having such items
discussed in this House.

Mr. Speaker: The hon. Gentleman has raised this as a point of order. I
make no comment on the substance of the matter. It is not for me but for
other people to consider.

CHINA (EXCHANGE OF AMBASSADORS)

The Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs (Sir Alec
Douglas-Home): With your permission, Mr. Speaker, and that of the House.
I wish to make a statement.

Discussions with the Government of the People's Republic of China about
an exchange of ambassadors have been successfully concluded and a
communiqué on this matter was signed today in Peking.

When carly last year we decided to resume discussions with the Chinese
Government on this subject we told them that if an agreement on an
exchange of ambassadors was reached we would be prepared to withdraw our
consulate from Taiwan. This we shall now do.

With your permission. Mr. Speaker, I shall circulate in the OFFICIAL
REPORT the text of the communiqué which we have agreed with the Chinese
Govern-

ment.

Mr. Healey: First, I express to the right hon. Gentleman how glad we are
on this side of the House that the chargés d'affaires will now be raised
to the status of ambassadors, and we ex- press the hope that this step

politically and economically.

tion, taken by the British Government Do the Government maintain the
posi-

at the Cairo conference, that Taiwan is a part of China? Has he any
plans for visiting China himself in the near future? Will he consider
urgently the possibility of sending an official trade mission to China?

Sir Alec Douglas-Home: I am obliged to the right hon. Gentleman for his
general welcome for this move. The right hon. Gentleman asks whether
Taiwan is part of China. I would express the posi tion as follows: the
Government of the United Kingdom acknowledge the posi tion of the
Chinese Government that Taiwan is a province of the People's Republic of
China. Both the Govern- ment of the People's Republic of China and part
of China. We held the view both Taipeh maintain that Taiwan is a

at Cairo and at Potsdam that Taiwan should be restored to China. That
view has not changed. We think that the Taiwan question is China's
internal affair to be settled by the Chinese people them. selves.

I should be glad to go to China but I could not go in the immediate
future. because, I am afraid, my programme is too heavy.

Sir D. Walker-Smith: Does my right hon. Friend expect that these
arrange- ments will expedite procedures in the case of arrests of
British subjects in the Republic of China in future, if such should
arise? Secondly, what in prac tice will be the arrangements for looking
after British interests in Taiwan in future?

Sir Alec Douglas-Home: The Austra- lians have kindly agreed to look
after British interests in Taiwan. As for ex pediting procedures in
relation to people who are still in Chinese custody. I think that this
new agreement will create a better climate in which we can talk to the
Chinese.

Mr. Pardoe: I welcome this announce- ment, Bearing in mind the British
Gov- ernment's recognition of Taiwan as province of the People's
Republic of China, may I ask the right hon. Gentle- man whether he has
had or intends to

have any discussion about the long-term had better be put to the
Minister future of Hong Kong?

Sir Alec Douglas-Home: That question does not arise.

Mr. Gorst: Is my right hon. Friend's statement likely to improve the
chances of my constituent's sister, Mrs. Gladys Yang, who has been in
detention for four years in China, being released or at least allowed to
communicate with her family? Might it expedite her release from

this so-called investigation which the Chinese authorities say her case
is being subject to at the moment?

LE

Sir Alec Douglas-Home: As I think my hon. Friend knows, we have done all
we can to achieve Mrs. Yang's release. My reply to him is the same as my
reply to my right hon, and leamed Friend the Member for Hertfordshire,
East (Sir D. Walker-Smith), that we must not raise hopes in these
matters, but we hope that the new climate will lead to the possibility
of further talks on this subject.

Mr. Dalyell: I am delighted. First, First, may I pay tribute to a number
of Foreign Office officials here in London and in Peking whose skilful
spadework have made this agreement possible, in particular Mr. Joha
Denson, a former chargé d'affaire, whose mastery of the Chinese language
gave him great esteem in Peking but who had to retire, unfor- tunately,
a little early from that post, owing to temporary ill-heath.

May 1 ask the right hon. Gentleman whether we can now get on to the
subject of the possibility of B.O.A.C. having a direct air route to
Peking? If we are to have the technical and trading relation- ships
which many of us would like to see, it requires an easy exchange of
people, particularly in, for example, the nuclear power and motor
industries or in many other trade sectors which might now scem to be
possible.

Sir Alee Douglas-Home: I thank the hon. Gentleman for his tribute to
officials. who have been very good in this matter. I did not tell the
House in my statement, but Mr. John Addis, who is well quali- fied for
the post, will be our first Ambas- sador in Peking. Of course we want
the best possible communications with the People's Republic, but the
hon. Gentle man's question about B.O.A.C. and trade

17 0 24

concerned.

Sir Gilbert Longden: While welcoming my right hon. Friend's statement,
may ask whether he has any information as to the wishes of the people of
Taiwan proper other than the Chinese Nation- alists there?

Sir Alec Douglas-Elome: I do not have any indication of the wishes of
the people of Taiwan. I can only repeat what I have said indeed, I
cannot add to what I said to the right hon. Member for Leeds, East (Mr.
Healey)-that we think that the Taiwan question is China's internal
affair to be settled by the Chinese people. This is in accordance with
the views which the British Government took both at Cairo and at
Potsdam.

Mr. Pavitt: Does the right hon. Gentleman recall that, in addition to
the trade links which we used to have with

China, there were wide links between the British co-operative movement
and the industrial co-operatives in China, which were fostered by Sir
Stafford Cripps during war-time and which lasted for some years until
Chiang Kai-shek lost power? Will the right hon. Gentle- man look again
at this area of contact between the British people and the Chinese
people through trade unions, co- operatives and other people's organisa
tions in helping to achieve future friend- ship and understanding?

Sir Alec Douglas-Home: We look to all opportunities of contact between
the British and Chinese peoples.

Mr. Tilney: Although our trade with Taiwan is small, may I ask my right
hon.

1 Friend for an assurance that the with- drawal of our consulate-general
from Taiwan will not prevent our trade con- tinuing with Taiwan?

Sir Alec Douglas-Home: I hope that will be so. Our consul was never
accredited to the Government of Taiwan. He was accredited to the local
provincial authorities. I hope that the trade will increase. West
Germany, for example, rapidly increased her trade in Taiwan without
consular representation.

Mr. Walters: Would my right hon. Friend bear in mind the need to give
the maximum support to British industry as

[MR. WALTERS.] soon as possible in its endeavours to enter The Chinese
market before the United States, whose foreign policy has been so
infinitely more dilatory than ours, moves in?

Sir Alec Douglas-Home: We shall certainly give any support we can to our
industry in relation to trade with China. Lately there have been signs
that industry is interested, and so are the Chinese Government.

Following is the communiqué : COMMUNIQUE ON THE AGREEMENT BETWEEN

THE GOVERNMENT OF THỊ Prople's REPUB LK OF CHINA AND THE GOVERNMENT OF
THE UNTILD KINGDOM OF GREAT BRITAIN AND NORTHERN IRELAND ON an ExchangE
OF AMBASSADORS.

Both confirming the principles of mutual respect for sovereignty and
territorial integrity. Ron-interference in each other's internal affairs
and equality and mutual benefit, the Govern- ment of the People's
Republic of China and the Government of the United Kingdom have decided
to raise the level of their respective Diplomatic Representatives in
each other's capitals from Chargés d'Affaires to Ambas- sadors as from
13th March, 1972.

The Government of the United Kingdom, acknowledge the position of the
Chinese Gov- ernment that Taiwan is a provinco of the People's Republic
of Chim, have decided to remove their official representation in Taiwan
on 13th March, 1972.

The Government of the United Kingdom recognise the Government of the
People's Republic of China as the sole legal Govern- ment of China.

The Government of the People's Republic of China appreciates the above
stand of the Government of the United Kingdom.

NORTHERN IRELAND

Mr. McManus: On a point of order. I have already given you notice, Mr.
Speaker, of my intention to ask leave to move the adjournment of the
House, under Standing Order No. 9, for the pur- pose of discussing a
specific and impor- tant matter that should have urgent con- sideration,
namely,

*the peace proposals of the 1.R.A."

This is a specific matter because the de- mands are clear and
unmistakable. They are: the immediate withdrawal off the streets of
British troops; a declaration by the British Government that troops will
eventually be withdrawn: a declaration of intent that the Irish people
have the right to determine their own future with-

11 D2

out outside interference; the uncondi- tional end of internment;
absolute politi- cal amnesty: and the abolition of Stormont.

This is an important matter not only because these demands indicate that
the I.R.A. desires peace and justice and not only because the IR.A. has
demon- strated that it has absolute control of its own forces-the North
has had the quietest weekend for years-but mainly because these are the
demands not just of the IR.A. With a few varia- tions here and there,
these are the basic demands of the entire anti-Unionist popu- lation of
the North of Ireland. From that population now comes one united clear
and unambiguous voice saying that these are the basic demands of that
population. The Governmem have no excuse for saying that they are
confused or uncertain about the demands. The position is crystal clear.

The matter is urgent.

It could not

be more urgent, for two reasons. At mid- night tonight the three-day
truce ends, and unless there is a positive response from the Government
we may assume that violence will recommence. If that happens, all the
world will see more. clearly than ever before that responsibility for
the violence rests where it has always rested-on the shoulders of this
Government.

Finally, it is a most urgent mallor, because if the initiative that the
Govern- ment propose to take, already seven months too late, does not
meet those basic demands and contains only a few paltry concessions, the
unanimous, united and unambiguous answer from the minority will be,
"No".

Rev. Ian Paisley: On a point of order-

Mr. Speaker: No point of order can arise at this moment.

I am grateful to the hon. Member for Fermanagh and South Tyrone (Mr.
McManus) for giving me notice of his intention to make his application
to move the Adjournment of the House for the purpose of discussing a
specific and im- portant matter which should have urgent consideration,
namely,

"the peace proposals of the IRA
