HC Deb 28 February 1924 vol 170 c667
64. Sir GRATTAN DOYLE

asked the Prime Minister whether he has information about propaganda against the British Empire in Afghanistan, India, Persia, and other countries carried on by the Soviet Government of Russia; and if he has received any assurance from the Russian Government that such hostile action shall now cease?

Mr. PONSONBY

His Majesty's Government have ample information on the political conditions in the countries named; the answer to the second part of the question is contained in the recent exchange of notes with the Soviet Government which has been published.

Sir G. DOYLE

Was any pledge given on behalf of the Soviet Government that their propaganda will cease?

Mr. PONSONBY

The matter is to be discussed in conference.

Sir H. BRITTAIN

Will it cease in the meantime?
