HC Deb 02 April 1919 vol 114 cc1186-7
Sir SAMUEL HOARE

(by Private Notice) asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether any Allied Mission has recently returned from Bolshevist Russia with offers of peace from Lenin's Government?

The UNDER-SECRETARY of STATE for FOREIGN AFFAIRS (Mr. Cecil Harmsworth)

I am not aware of any Allied Mission having been recently in Bolshevist Russia other than a email British Red Cross Mission which has been looking after the interests of our prisoners.

Sir S. HOARE

Is the hon. Gentleman sure that a member of the Allied Delegation in Paris has not recently returned from Bolshevist Russia?

Mr. HARMSWORTH

I have no information to that effect.

Sir S. HOARE

I beg to give notice, in view of the hon. Gentleman's answer, that I shall raise this question on the first available opportunity.
