London, May 1.
The recent shocking accident in Shanghai, in which Dr. Bertram Lillie, the Principal of the Lester School and Henry Lester Institute of Technical Education, Shanghai, was killed, and several other persons injured, figured in the House of Commons today.
Mr. R. A. Butler, the Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, said that the facts of the case were obscure.
The question of whether action by the Government was appropriate, he declared, must await a full investigation, end statements by Mrs. Lillie and Sergeant R. J. Wimsett (both of "whom were seriously injured in the accident), who, Mr. Butler said, "are understood to be recovering."
