HC Deb 09 April 1923 vol 162 c875
Sir HENRY CRAIK (by Private Notice)

asked the Under-Secretary for Foreign Affairs whether it is the fact that the reply made to the Note addressed to the Soviet Government in regard to the persecution of the Christians was of such a nature that its acceptance was refused; and whether he has any statement to make as to the attitude of His Majesty's Government towards the Soviet Government?

Mr. McNEILL

The matter referred to in the question has raised very serious considerations which are engaging the attention of His Majesty's Government. It is not possible to make any further statement for the moment.

Sir H. CRAIK

Is it a fact that the Note addressed to His Majesty's Government was of such a nature that His Majesty's representative refused to accept it?

Mr. McNEILL

It is true that he refused to transmit it to the home Government.
