§ 17. Sir A. POWNALLasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether, in the event of diplomatic privileges being extended to members of a Russian trade mission or other similar body in the proposed treaty with Russia, he will arrange for similar privileges to be ex tended to accredited British subjects engaged in similar activities?
Mr. A. HENDERSONThe general attitude of His Majesty's Government in this matter was stated by my hon. Friend the Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs on the 5th November, and I am not prepared to make any further statement on the subject at this stage.
§ Sir A. POWNALLWill the right hon. Gentleman consider the advisability of seeing that no more Russians have diplomatic privileges here than British subjects have diplomatic privileges in Russia?
