§ 2. Sir ROBERT THOMASasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he has any information regarding the number of British subjects in Russia; and whether, in view of the state of feeling in that country towards Great.

Mr. LOCKER-LAMPSONI am informed that there are at present approximately 400 British subjects in the whole of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics.
