HC Deb 06 April 1922 vol 152 cc2411-2
28. Mr. HASLAM

asked the Prime Minister whether he will take such steps as may be necessary to ascertain as soon as possible whether the Russian Government is willing to afford every facility to members of an international commission, consisting, say, of representatives of Great Britain, France, the United States, Belgium, and Italy, to be appointed by the Governments of those countries, respectively, with a view of visiting such parts of Russia as may be deemed desirable in order to make arrangements for the security of the investments of foreign capital with the object of developing the resources and industries of Russia and of stimulating international trade?

The PRIME MINISTER

The possibility of arranging conditions which may make trade with Russia possible is one of the subjects for consideration at the Genoa Conference.
