§ 2. Mr. KINGasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether any 2013 answer has been given to the request of the Russian People's Commissary for Foreign Affairs to stop the compulsory recruiting of Russians in this country; whether any Allied Governments, especially that of the United States, has been consulted on this matter; and, if an answer has been given, what is its purport?
§ Lord R. CECILThe nature of the reply to be returned to the Russian Government on this question is still under consideration. As the issue is one exclusively between His Majesty's Government and the Russian Government none of the Allied Governments has been consulted.
