– in the House of Commons at on 25 March 1929.
asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he proposes to release any portion of the Boxer indemnity funds, now in the hands of His Majesty's Government, without prescribing such conditions as appear desirable to him to ensure that the expenditure of the portion released is duly safeguarded?
Can we have an assurance that, before any amendment of the Act is considered with a view to releasing any portion of this fund, the question of safeguarding its expenditure will receive due consideration?
Yes, certainly.
