HC Deb 20 November 1919 vol 121 cc1107-8
38. Mr. SWAN

asked the Prime Minister whether British subjects are being recruited by the Russian Embassy for service in Russia under the various Russian Governments; whether he will cause inquiries to be made into the matter; and whether he will ensure that the terms of the Foreign Enlistment Act are being carried out?

Sir H. GREENWOOD

I would refer the hon. Member to the reply given on the 11th instant to the hon. and gallant Member for Newcastle-under-Lyme, which still holds good. I shall be very pleased to send my hon. Friend a copy of it.

Colonel WEDGWOOD

Is the hon. Gentleman aware that the answer merely stated that the Government knew nothing about it?

Sir H. GREENWOOD

I am not aware of that, and I do not accept that interpretation of the answer.
