HC Deb 02 May 1918 vol 105 c1674
1. Mr. PONSONBY

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he can give the House any information with regard to the state of affairs in Petrograd?

The PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY to the MINISTRY of BLOCKADE (Mr. Leverton Harris)

My right hon. Friend desires me to express his regret that he cannot be present this afternoon, and asks me to reply to his questions.

If the hon. Member refers—as I suppose he does—to the report in the Press that a counter-revolution has broken out in Petrograd, the Secretary of State has received no official confirmation.

Mr. HOGGE

Can the right hon. Gentleman say whether we have got any representative at all in Petrograd?

Mr. HARRIS

That question had better be put to my right hon. Friend.
