HC Deb 09 December 1929 vol 233 cc6-7
12. Captain CROOKSHANK

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether the Soviet Government has agreed to the request of the Dominion Governments that the guarantees against propaganda should be made applicable to them?

The SECRETARY of STATE for FOREIGN AFFAIRS (Mr. Arthur Henderson)

The question of the exchange of guarantees against propaganda between His Majesty's Governments in the Dominions and the Soviet Government is still the subject of negotiation between His Majesty's Government in the United Kingdom, in consultation with His Majesty's Governments in the Dominions, and the Soviet Government.

Captain CROOKSHANK

Did not the right hon. Gentleman say that the Ambassador would not go to Moscow until the matter had been settled?

Mr. HENDERSON

No, I never said anything of the kind.

Captain CROOKSHANK

Oh yes, you did.

HON. MEMBERS

Order!
