HC Deb 12 May 1924 vol 173 cc875-6
15. Lieut.-Commander KENWORTHY

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs what is the attitude of His Majesty's Government towards the question of Russia joining the League of Nations; and whether His Majesty's Government intends to propose an invitation being sent to the Russian Government to join the League, either through our representative on the Council or at the next meeting of the Assembly?

The UNDER-SECRETARY of STATE for FOREIGN AFFAIRS (Mr. Arthur Ponsonby)

My right hon. Friend has been unavoidably prevented from attending to- day by his official duties, and I have been asked to reply.

I have nothing to add to the very full statement which I made in reply to a question by the hon. Member for West Leeds (Mr. Stamford) on the 21st February.
