HC Deb 28 March 1923 vol 162 cc466-7

The following question stood on the Paper in the name of Mr. BRIANT:

8. To ask the Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if he has made any representations to the Government of Russia with regard to the imprisonment and trial of the Archbishop of Petrograd and many priests, so as to secure that they shall be adequately defended at their trial?

Mr. BRIANT

I put down this question some days ago and answers on the subject were given in the House yesterday. May I be allowed to ask if the hon. Gentleman has any further information as to the possible prevention of this horrible crime which is meditated on the Archbishop?

Mr. McNEILL

I am sorry that I have no further information beyond what I gave yesterday.
