§ 3. Mr. KINGasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether the agreement entered into with the Regional Council of the Murman Coast implies the recognition of that council as a de facto and/or de jure Government with which the Allies or their country expects to maintain regular relations, or is made only for temporary or military purposes; and whether any other regional councils in Russia have been or will be treated with or recognised on similar lines?
§ Lord R. CECILI must refer the hon. Member to the reply which was given yesterday. I am not in a position to make any further statement in regard to the agreement.
