§ 3. Mr. WINGasked the Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if he will in future negotiations with the Russian Government secure by treaty similar treatment in that country for British commercial travellers as is accorded to the representatives of Russian interests by us, and as already granted to our representatives in Italy, Finland, and France, seeing that in Article 24 of the Law of 15th July, 1880, of France, it is stated that, as French commercial travellers are exempt from any 1838 special regulations in Great Britain, British commercial travellers are accordingly exempted in France, and that such exemption in Russia would secure equality of treatment to commercial travellers in all the Allied countries?
§ Lord R. CECILThe point raised by the hon. Member will be borne carefully in mind in the event of future negotiations with the Russian Government on commercial subjects.
