HC Deb 17 October 1918 vol 110 c254
6. Mr. R. MACDONALD

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if he can inform the House as to the circumstances under which Mr. Lockhart was arrested by the Bolshevik Government, and as to the length of time he was kept in prison?

10. Mr. KING

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether Mr. Lockhart and his party have arrived from Moscow; whether he can make a statement on the work and treatment of Mr. Lockhart; and for how many days was Mr. Lockhart imprisoned in Russia?

Lord R. CECIL

Mr. Lockhart and his party are now on their way through Scandinavia. No statement regarding the work, imprisonment, and treatment of Mr. Lockhart can be made with advantage until his arrival in this country.

Mr. KING

When does the Noble Lord expect that they will arrive in this country?

Lord R. CECIL

I cannot tell to a day, but very shortly.
