HC Deb 23 February 1920 vol 125 c1288
35. Mr. BLAIR

asked the Prime Minister if Mr. Lansbury's tour in Russia has been in any way facilitated by the Government; do any of his expenses come out of public funds; and is he acting on behalf of the Government?

Mr. BONAR LAW

The answer to all three parts of the hon. Member's question is in the negative.

Sir F. HALL

Can the right hon. Gentleman say how it is that Mr. Lansbury got to Russia? Was a passport granted to him by the Government?

Mr. BONAR LAW

Other people besides Mr. Lansbury have got to Russia. I cannot give an explanation.

Viscount CURZON

Is it possible that he went over in connection with the importation of wood?
