HC Deb 26 March 1930 vol 237 c392
2. Sir ASSHETON POWNALL

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether any committees or other bodies have yet been set up under the protocol of 4th October to go into the question of Russian debt settlement?

Mr. A. HENDERSON

I would refer the hon. Member to my reply of Monday last to the hon. and gallant Member for the Isle of Wight (Captain P. Macdonald).

Sir A. POWNALL

Does the right hon. Gentleman adhere to the statement made last January, that these would be no question of financing the Russian Government until such time as a debt settlement was arrived at?

Mr. HENDERSON

I have already reported to the House any discussions, and the line that we are proposing to follow, and we are still endeavouring to adhere to the statements made.
