HC Deb 27 November 1919 vol 121 c1863
6. Mr. CLOUGH

asked the Undersecretary of State for Foreign Affairs if he will state what meaning the Foreign Office attaches to the word "Soviet"; and whether the present form of authority in Russia answers to this description?

Mr. D. WARD

The word "Soviet" means "Council." The name is commonly applied, both by themselves and by others, to the Bolshevik Government in Russia.
