HC Deb 20 March 1933 vol 276 c17
26. Sir W. DAVISON

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs what steps the Government propose to take in view of the final repudiation by the Russian Soviet Government of the agreement entered into on their behalf with Lena Goldfields, Limited, which has been supported by an arbitral award given in accordance with the terms of the agreement in favour of the company for a sum of £12,965,000?

Mr. EDEN

I regret that at present I have nothing to add to the answer returned to my hon. Friend on the 13th March.

Sir W. DAVISON

Can my hon. Friend say whether the Government now recognise the futility of entering into any trade or other agreement with a Power which does not recognise agreements or international awards made under the terms of such agreements?
