asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he can state the number of factory workers employed in factories within the foreign settlement at Shanghai: and the number who are under the ages of 14 years, 12 years and 10 years, respectively?

Mr. CHAMBERLAIN:

Such information as I have will be found on page 102 of the Blue Book just laid before Parliament regarding labour conditions in China.

Secretary of State

Secretary of State was originally the title given to the two officials who conducted the Royal Correspondence under Elizabeth I. Now it is the title held by some of the more important Government Ministers, for example the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs.
