§ 1. Lieut. - Commander KENWORTHYasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether a Constituent Assembly Las been elected for Siberia; whether it has met and for how long; whether it has met this year; and if he can state what parties the members are divided into and what is the numerical strength of the various parties?
§ The UNDER-SECRETARY of STATE for FOREIGN AFFAIRS (Mr. Cecil Harmsworth)The all Russia Constituent Assembly, of which Siberian delegates formed a part, was dispersed by the Bolshevists in January, 1918. No separate Siberian Constituent Assembly has since been elected. The last part of the question therefore does not arise.
§ Lieut.-Commander KENWORTHYAre any steps being taken to call it together again?
§ Mr. HARMSWORTHI should like notice of that question.
§ Colonel WEDGWOODIs it not a fact that it was called together again and dissolved by Koltchak?
