HC Deb 05 August 1918 vol 109 c904
15. Mr. KING

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he is aware that the Fifth National Congress of Russian Soviets held in Moscow on or about the 8th July adopted a new constitution for Russia, and that in the regions of Russia which are thereby federated in the Russian Republic the constitution is firmly established; and whether he will obtain a copy of this constitution in Moscow through Mr. Lockhart?

Mr. BALFOUR

I believe that the fifth Congress of the Russian Soviets approved a new constitution, but I have no precise information on the subject. Communication with Moscow is precarious, but I will try to get a copy of the constitution.
