HC Deb 04 December 1922 vol 159 cc1201-2
69. Sir H. BRITTAIN

asked the Prime Minister whether he is able to make any statement with regard to the suggestion that a secret military agreement has been entered into between the German Government and the Soviet Government of Russia?

77. Sir W. DAVISON

asked the Prime Minister whether the Government has any information as to a naval and military agreement having been entered into between Germany and the Russian Soviet Government, and to the effect that large numbers of aeroplanes are being manufactured or assembled in Russia to German order; that munitions of war are being manufactured in Russia for Germany under the direct supervision of German officers; and that provision is made in the German Army Estimates for special pay and allowances for such officers?

The PRIME MINISTER

I have no information to confirm the suggestions in these questions.

Sir W. DAVISON

Has the right hon. Gentleman had an opportunity of looking at the German Estimates, and, if so, is there any provision made for the payment of those officers in Russia?

The PRIME MINISTER

I think not.
