asked the Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether Mr. Nathan, who has accompanied the hon. Member for South-East Leeds to Copenhagen to assist in the conference with the representatives of the Russian Soviet Government, is a Jew or of Jewish, extraction; whether he is a Zionist or an anti-Zionist; and whether any of these factors were taken into consideration when selecting Mr. Nathan as a delegate for this conference?

I understand that Mr. Nathan is of Jewish extraction. I have no information regarding his religious or political views, neither of which factors were taken into consideration when he was selected to accompany the hon. Member for South-East Leeds (Mr. O'Grady) to Copenhagen.
