HC Deb 05 June 1924 vol 174 c1451
52. Lieut.-Colonel HOWARD-BURY

asked the Prime Minister when he will be in a position to state the result of the negotiations between His Majesty's Government and the representatives of the Soviet Government now in London?

Mr. PONSONBY

I would refer the hon. and gallant Member to the reply given by my right hon. Friend the Prime Minister to the Noble Lord the Member for South Battersea (Viscount Curzon) on the 19th May, to which I can at present add nothing.

Lieut.-Colonel HOWARD- BURY

In view of the great interest taken in these negotiations, will the hon. Gentleman issue an interim report showing what agreement has been reached?

Mr. PONSONBY

No, Sir, I am afraid that cannot be done.

Mr. A. SOMERVILLE

In connection with these negotiations, has any notice been taken of what is contained in this week's issue of the "Pravada"?
