HC Deb 05 November 1930 vol 244 c829
4. Sir KINGSLEY WOOD

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he has received any recent report of any relaxation in the law in Soviet Russia in relation to religious teaching?

Mr. A. HENDERSON

No, Sir. The position, so far as I am aware, remains the same as that described in my reply of the 2nd July last.

Sir K. WOOD

Can the right hon. Gentleman say whether that reply also refers to prohibition against teaching the Christian religion to young persons in Russia? Is that still in force, so far as he is aware?

Mr. HENDERSON

I think that that is the purport of the reply I have given. The position is the same.
