asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he will immediately ask for report from His Majesty's Ambassador in China on the new insurance business law proposed by the Chinese Government, with special reference to the effect of the proposed law on foreign insurance companies operating in China?

Full reports on this matter have already been received from His Majesty's Ambassador at Peking, who has not failed to draw the attention of the Chinese Government to the provisions of the proposed law which affect the interests of British insurance companies in China.
