HC Deb 09 September 1909 vol 10 c1459
Major ANSTRUTHER-GRAY

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he has yet received a Report from His Majesty's Chargéd' Affaires at St. Petersburg with regard to the tenure of land held by British subjects in Poland; whether British subjects inheriting land in Poland and the Western Governments of Russia are obliged to sell their land within three years, while German subjects are allowed to retain their land for 10 years; and whether he will endeavour to secure equally good treatment for British subjects?

Mr. McKINNON WOOD

The Report referred to has not yet been received, but I hope to receive it shortly. In the meantime, I have nothing to add to the answer returned to the hon. and gallant Member's question of 5th August.

Major ANSTRUTHER-GRAY

Will the hon. Gentleman let me know when he does receive it?

Mr. McKINNON WOOD

Certainly.
