HC Deb 14 May 1928 vol 217 cc674-5
68. Sir W. DAVISON

asked the Home Secretary whether, as the result of his further inquiries, he can now give the House any further information with regard to the receipt in this country of funds from Russian Soviet sources for subversive propaganda; and whether he is satisfied that Russian money is no longer coming to this country for this purpose?

Sir W. JOYNSON-HICKS

My inquiries are still continuing, and for the present I have no statement to make.

Sir W. DAVISON

Has the right hon. Gentleman seen in the inquiry recently held that five tons of gold were imported from Russia?

Sir W. JOYNSON-HICKS

Perhaps I may go so far as to say inquiries are being carefully conducted, and I hope to be able to make a statement before long.

Mr. A. V. ALEXANDER

Is the Russian Bank giving the right hon. Gentleman full facilities?

Sir W. JOYNSON-HICKS

Oh, yes, absolutely.
