§ 68. Lieut.-Colonel JAMESasked the President of the Board of Trade on what dates notices were published inviting owners of British claims against Russia to register them with the Board of Trade: in what papers on each occasion were the notices published; and what other steps, if any, were taken to invite such owners of claims to register?
§ The PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY to the BOARD of TRADE (Mr. A. V. Alexander)Notices were issued to the 590 Press generally on the 5th September, 1918, and the 1st June, 1922, and were widely published, and attention has been drawn to the register from time to time, both in this House and in utterances outside. There exist also unofficial bodies who have made it their business to put possible claimants in touch with the Department.
§ Lieut.-Colonel JAMESIs the hon. Member aware that the notices were only published in the Board of Trade Journal and the Gazette?
§ Mr. ALEXANDERI can deny that categorically now. If the hon. and gallant Member desires, I will send him particulars.
