HC Deb 24 July 1919 vol 118 cc1561-2
59. Major GLYN

asked the Prime Minister whether the Government have taken any action to find out from Allied Governments whether there is any further official information in regard to the conclusion of an economic treaty between the Russian Soviet Government and the German Government since the existence of this treaty has been reported to the British Government?

Mr. HARMSWORTH

I have nothing to add to the reply which I gave the hon. and gallant Member on Monday. We have no official knowledge on the subject, but are making inquiries.

Lieut.-Colonel MALONE

Would it not be desirable to send a Mission to Russia to find out the facts?

Sir S. HOARE

Would it not be much simpler to make representations direct to the German Government and find out whether they are true or not?

Mr. HARMSWORTH

I will consider that.
