§ 36. Mr. RAPERasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs what has been done with the 320 millions of roubles paid in gold by the Bolsheviks to Germany under the Brest-Litovsk Treaty and which gold was subsequently deposited in the Bank of France for account of the Allies; and whether, now that General Koltchak has been recognised by the Allies, a certain amount of this money 368 will be placed at the disposal of Generals Koltchak and Denikin to enable them to purchase necessary supplies?
§ The UNDER-SECRETARY of STATE for FOREIGN AFFAIRS (Mr. Cecil Harmsworth)I regret that I have not the information asked for by the hon. and gallant Member, and am not, therefore, in a position to say whether the suggestion made in the second part of his question is practicable.
