Mr. HARMSWORTHHis Majesty's Government on 11th November, 1918, 852 granted personal recognition to the Lettish National Council as a de facto Independent body.

Mr. HARMSWORTHIn answer to the first part of the question, I would refer the hon. and gallant Member to the second part of the answer to-day to the hon. and gallant Member for Newcastle-under-Lyme. The answer to the second part of the question is in the negative, so far as His Majesty's Government are aware. The third part of the question, therefore, does not arise.
