Mr. LOCKHART'S REPORT.

HC Deb 20 November 1918 vol 110 c3396

6. Mr. KING

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he can make public any part or the whole of Mr. Lockhart's Report on Russia?

The SECRETARY of STATE for FOREIGN AFFAIRS (Mr. Balfour)

No, Sir, not at present. But the matter is being considered.

Mr. KING

Is there any chance of publication being made before the General Election, so that the matters which are so vital may be considered by the public at large?

Mr. BALFOUR

I cannot give the date, but it certainly never occurred to me that a report on the national affairs of Russia was vital to an election. I will do everything I can to expedite matters.
