HC Deb 01 May 1933 vol 277 c490
14. Mr. DONNER

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether, in view of recent events in connection with the arrest of certain British engineers in Moscow, he will give an assurance that His Majesty's Government will not again extend diplomatic immunity to the Russian Trade Delegation in London or any other special privileges not enjoyed by or extended to other foreign Powers?

Mr. BALDWIN

My hon. Friend may rest assured that the question of the extension of diplomatic immunity to the Russian Trade Delegation in London will be carefully considered if and when negotiations for the conclusion of the Trade Agreement are resumed.

Mr. COCKS

Will the Foreign Minister bear in mind the precedent set by the Lord President of the Council himself when the late Member for Dudley was incarcerated?
