HC Deb 08 February 1926 vol 191 cc609-10
33. Sir WILLIAM LANE MITCHELL

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Overseas Trade Department, the names of British companies or corporations who are now working their properties under an agreement with the Soviet Government?

Mr. SAMUEL

I understand that concessions have been granted to the Lena Goldfields, Ltd., the Ayan Corporation, Ltd., and the Tetiukhe Mining Corporation, Ltd. I am unaware whether actual operations upon their properties have commenced. According to Soviet official sources a concession has also been granted to the Priamur Syndicate, Ltd.
