§ MR. LAIDLAW (Renfrewshire, E.)I beg to ask the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether the Russian Government have yet furnished their reasons for arresting Mr. Nicholas Luxenburg, a naturalised British subject, whilst he was travelling under the protection of a British passport; whether the Government have accepted those reasons as adequate; and, if not, whether he will ask the Russian Government to make compensation for the injury inflicted on Mr. Luxenburg's health and business.
§ MR. J. A. PEASEThe answer to the first part of the hon. Member's Question is in the affirmative, and the communication of the Russian Government is now under consideration. With regard to a claim for compensation, as soon as a decision has been arrived at my right hon. friend will be ready to make it known.
