HC Deb 05 August 1919 vol 119 c146
63. Lieut.-Colonel Lord H.CAVENDISH-BENTINCK

asked the Prime Minister whether the Government will make inquiries in Russia with the object of finding out whether it is possible to secure peace which is consistent with our obligations of honour to those who are our friends in that country?

Mr. BONAR LAW

It is impossible to add anything on this subject to what has already been said in Debate by the Government.

Lord H. CAVEND1SH-BENTINCK

Is my right hon. Friend aware that there is an increasing impression in the country that the bulk of the Government's activities in Russia merely leads to the strengthening of Bolshevism in this country and to giving it a fictitious popularity in this country?

Mr. BONAR LAW

It is obvious, I think, that is not a subject that can be dealt with by question and answer. It would have to be discussed in Debate.
