HC Deb 30 May 1922 vol 154 c1921
47. Mr. MALONE

asked the Prime Minister if he has any particulars regarding the recent treaty between Russia and Italy?

Mr. CHAMBERLAIN

No, Sir; we have not yet received any particulars of this agreement.

Mr. MALONE

Is it a fact that certain oil concessions which were intended for British interests have now been transferred to Italy?

Mr. CHAMBERLAIN

I have no reason to think so. We have not yet received any particulars of this agreement, but I should be surprised if that were true.
