HC Deb 25 March 1925 vol 182 cc412-3
6. Lieut.-Commander KENWORTHY

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs in which parts of the world our general relations with the Russian Government are not amicable; and what steps are being taken to remove or reduce causes of friction by His Majesty's Government?

Mr. McNEILL

This subject is too wide to be satisfactorily dealt with by means of question and answer. It must be reserved for debate on some suitable occasion.

Lieut.-Commander KENWORTHY

Is there any definite area in which there can be friction?

Mr. McNEILL

That is the question on the Paper which I have answered.

Lieut.-Commander KENWORTHY

There are only two or three places where we touch Russian territory, and surely that information can be given.

Mr. McNEILL

I have already answered the question.

Mr. MACKINDER

Surely if there is friction, the House is entitled to know without having to wait two or three days.

Mr. MACGUISTEN

Is it not much more important to be friendly with the Russian people who are not at all friendly to the Russian Government, which is not a democratic Government?

Forward to
