§ 24. Mr. KINGasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he is now in a position to confirm or deny the alleged agreement with the Præsidium of the Murman Regional Council, which was published on 24th July; and who were the persons who signed the Agreement on behalf of the Allies?
Mr. BALFOURI understand that an Agreement has been signed, but I have no details as yet beyond those given in the Press on the 24th instant.
§ Mr. KINGCannot the right hon. Gentleman even state the date on which this Agreement was signed—it was not given in the Paper?
Mr. BALFOURI cannot give the date, but my hon. Friend perhaps realises that the information was received in the Press by Russian wires. Our communications, unfortunately, do not get through.
