HC Deb 04 December 1919 vol 122 c544
12. Mr. ALLEN PARKINSON

asked the Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he can make a statement as to the progress of negotiations for peace between the Russian Soviet Government and the Baltic States?

Mr. HARMSWORTH

I have no further information to add to that which was given on 24th November in reply to the hon. and gallant Member for Hull.

18. Mr. SWAN

asked the Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether there are any restrictions to prevent the resumption of trade with Russian territory under the Soviet Government as soon as freights can be arranged through Baltic ports or by overland railways which enter Russia on the Western Russian frontier?

Mr. HARMSWORTH

The restrictions which, in consequence of the decision of the Supreme Council, have been imposed on exports to Soviet Russia, are still in force.

Lieut.-Commander KENWORTHY

Is it intended to keep these restrictions in force in view of the statement of the Prime Minister that the blockade by the British Navy is being raised?

Mr. HARMSWORTH

No doubt that will be considered at that time.
