asked the Prime Minister whether he will give an assurance that, despite the result of the campaign in Burma, every practicable step will be taken to maintain contact with our Chinese Allies and to send them as many aircraft and other supplies as can be spared so that they can continue to resist any Japanese attack which may be concentrated upon them?

Yes, Sir. His Majesty's-Government are determined to continue to do everything within their power to assist the Chinese Government in the prosecution of the war in the manner suggested by my hon. Friend as well as in any other way which may prove possible.
