HC Deb 07 July 1930 vol 241 cc13-4
26. Sir W. DAVISON

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he has now any information as to the transfer of the Western European Bureau of the Third Communist International from Berlin to London, and as to the reasons for this transfer?

The UNDER-SECRETARY of STATE for the HOME DEPARTMENT (Mr. Short)

I have been asked to reply. I would refer the hon. Member to the reply which my right hon. Friend gave on the 5th June to a similar question by the hon. and gallant Member for the Waterloo Division (Captain Bullock).

Sir W. DAVISON

low is it that the British Government have no further information on this matter, considering that it is common knowledge in Berlin? Are their means of ascertaining facts not equal to those of foreign Governments?

Mr. SHORT

My right hon. Friend said on Wednesday that there was no information which supported this rumour.

Lieut.-Colonel Sir FREDERICK HALL

Are we to assume that there is no truth in the rumour?

Mr. SHORT

We have no information.

HON. MEMBERS

Are you trying to get it?
