HC Deb 10 April 1930 vol 237 c2345
36. Sir A. POWNALL

asked the Home Secretary whether his attention has been called to an order issued by the Soviet Consul-General in London to a number of Russian subjects domiciled here ordering them to return to Moscow, where they are liable to execution; and what action he proposes to take with regard to their continued residence in this country?

Mr. CLYNES

I have only seen newspaper reports; no representations have reached me from any of the persons who are supposed to be concerned. As the House knows I am now engaged in inquiring into the position of certain former employés of Soviet organisations in this country, and I have no doubt that all relevant considerations will come to light in the course of those inquiries.

Sir A. POWNALL

Is the right hon. Gentleman aware that this was also in the "Daily Herald" yesterday morning, and in view—

HON. MEMBERS

Order!
