HC Deb 28 July 1930 vol 242 cc14-5
29. Mr. HACKING

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether the Anglo-Soviet committee appointed for the purpose of discussing Russia's debts to this country has yet held its first meeting; and, if not, when he expects it will be called together?

Mr. DALTON

According to present arrangements, the first meeting of this committee will be held on the 2nd of October.

Sir WILLIAM DAVISON

What is the reason for this great delay, having regard to the urgency of the matter and the fact that the other committee is still in session?

Mr. DALTON

I suspect that some members on the British side at any rate are looking forward to having their summer holidays.
