HC Deb 06 June 1921 vol 142 c1485
6. Mr. LEONARD LYLE

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether M. Krassin has returned, or is returning, to this country; and whether, so far as the Board is aware, any business of any sort has as yet been done under the Anglo-Russian Agreement?

Sir P. LLOYD-GREAME (Secretary, Overseas Trade Department)

M. Krassin returned to London from Russia on Tuesday, 31st May. I am informed that considerable purchases have been made in this country since the conclusion of the Trade Agreement with the Soviet Government.

Captain TERRELL

Has the Disposal Board sold any goods at all to M. Krassin?

Sir P. LLOYD-GREAME

Perhaps the hon. and gallant Gentleman will address that specific question to the Treasury, who are responsible.
