HC Deb 13 June 1921 vol 143 c36
47. Lieut.-Colonel ARCHER-SHEE

asked the Prime Minister, with reference to the statements in the French Press regarding the Russian trade agreement, if he can state the value of the gold which it is alleged has been transferred from Russia to England since the Agreement was signed?

Mr. CHAMBERLAIN

I do not know to what statements my hon. and gallant Friend is referring. I am not aware of any but very trifling import of gold from Russia in the last few months.

Lieut.-Colonel ARCHER-SHEE

Will the correspondence which has recently passed between His Majesty's Government and the French Government with reference to the Russian Trade Agreement be placed before the House?

Mr. CHAMBERLAIN

I do not know of the correspondence to which the hon. Member is referring, but in any case I should have notice of a question of that kind.
