HC Deb 03 March 1920 vol 126 cc433-4
50. Lieut.-Colonel MALONE

asked the Prime Minister whether it is proposed by the Peace Conference now sitting in London that the Kuban Republic should receive complete recognition?

Mr. BONAR LAW

So far as His Majesty's Government are aware, no independent authority has been established in the Kuban Republic, and the question has not therefore arisen.

Lieut.-Commander KENWORTHY

Is the right hon. Gentleman aware that a representative of this Republic is in this country? Has the Foreign Office decided to honour him with an interview?

Mr. BONAR LAW

The facts are as I have stated. There has been no claim for independence from this Republic.
