HC Deb 08 May 1918 vol 105 cc2135-6
17. Mr. KING

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs what amount, or amounts, have been recommended by the Foreign Office to be advanced by the Treasury to Mr. K. D. Nabokoff, ex-Russian Chargé d'Affaires, since 12th March, 1917?

Mr. BALFOUR

No definite amounts were recommended to the Treasury.

Mr. KING

I should like to know whether they were recommended to the Treasury by the Foreign Office?

Mr. BALFOUR

No definite amounts were recommended by the Foreign Office to the Treasury.

60. Mr. KING

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether any applications from Mr. Konstantine Dmitrivitch Nabokoff, formerly Chargé d'Affaires of the Russian Government in London, for financial aid was made in order that he might regularise or adjust his own private liabilities or solely in order that liabilities of the past Russian régime should be met; if private liabilities of Mr. K. D. Nabokoff have been met through British moneys advanced, whether security for or promise of repayment has been given; and what amount has Mr. K. D. Nabokoff received for this purpose?

Mr. BONAR LAW

No payments have been made to Mr. Nabokoff to meet his private liabilities, nor has any application for such payment been received from any quarter. The only sum that has so far been advanced to the Embassy has been an amount of £300 to meet the necessary expenses of upkeep.
