HC Deb 24 November 1919 vol 121 cc1428-9
63. Lieut.-Commander KENWORTHY

asked the Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he has now received copies of the replies to the Notes addressed by the Supreme Council to the German and neutral Governments, requesting their co-operation in a form of blockade of Soviet Russia; and, if so, what is the nature of such replies?

Sir H. GREENWOOD

The only reply of which I have received a copy is that of the German Government, it is a refusal to co-operate in economic pressure on Soviet Russia. I am informed that the Governments of Sweden, Denmark, Finland, Holland, Spain and Switzerland have made replies, summaries of which I will circulate in the OFFICIAL REPORT.

Lieut.-Commander KEN WORTHY

What is the Government's policy now with regard to economic pressure, as Germany has refused to co-operate?

Sir H. GREENWOOD

Questions of policy must be addressed to the Leader of the House.

Lieut.-Commander KENWORTHY

Questions of foreign policy?
