§ MR. KEIR HARDIE (Merthyr Tydvil)I beg to ask the First Lord of the Treasury whether the Government has any official information concerning the shooting, without trial, of 120 workmen's leaders by Russian troops in Warsaw; and whether His Majesty's Government has made, or intend making, representations to the Russian Government upon the methods by which the authorities have met the, workpeople's claims for improved conditions of employment and for the concession of political reforms.
§ MR. A. J. BALFOURIt is obviously impossible for His Majesty's Government to interfere in the internal affairs of Russia.
§ MR. KEIR HARDIEHave the Government received any official information of the kind I have mentioned?
§ MR. A. J. BALFOURWe have received no confirmation of the story. But the matter is evidently outside the province of the Government, and, if I may say so, outside the province of this House.
