HC Deb 05 December 1912 vol 44 c2455
3. Mr. GINNELL

asked whether, Russia having now taken that control in Chinese Mongolia hitherto sought through the six-Power financial group and to obtain which was the reason for admitting her to that group, Russia will now be excluded from that group and its future negotiations in China?

Sir E. GREY

The statement made in the hon. Member's question is not true, and the answer is therefore in the negative.

Mr. GINNELL

Can the right hon. Gentleman say in what respect it is not true, and if that is not the present position what is the present position?

Sir E. GREY

The statements are not true. Russia has not taken control in Chinese Mongolia and the six-Power group has not obtained control of Chinese Mongolia, and that is not the reason for permitting Russia to resign.
