A STATEMENT DENIED
BRITISH AIRPLANES AT KABUL FOR EVACUATION ONLY British Official Wireless Reed. 11 a.m. RUGBY. "Wednesday. In the House of Commons, the Foreign Secretary, Sir Austen Chamberlain, denied the statement attributed to the Afghan Ambassador in Turkey, that British aircraft other than those engaged in the evacuation of foreigners from Kabul were daily flying over Afghanistan. He added that these aircraft were flying with the full consent of the defence authorities in Kabul. Asked by whom the British policy Afghanistan was being determined, Sir Austen said its direction rested with'the Government in this country. The Government sought the advice of the Government of India and of its minister at Kabul. Answering a further question, the Foreign Secretary said no foreign legation had been withdrawn from Kabul. He understood that King Amanullah had expressed a willingness to receive foreign diplomatic representatives at Kandahar, but so far as he was aware no member of the diplomatic body at Kabul had accepted this invitation. The British Government did not propose to move its mission to Kandahar.
