HC Deb 01 June 1908 vol 189 c1557
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. PEASE

The 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.
