§ 6. Sir K. WOODasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he has received any recent report from His Majesty's Ambassador in Moscow as to whether there has been any abatement of religious persecution in Russia, or any amendment or modification of the recent decrees in relation thereto?
Mr. A. HENDERSONRecent reports from Moscow are to the effect that there was no visible obstruction in the way of religious services at Easter. As regards the second part of the question, I have received no information of new legislation beyond that which I communicated to the right hon. Gentleman on the 13th of March.
§ Sir K. WOODHas the right hon. Gentleman any objection to communicating with our Ambassador and asking him whether there has been any abatement or modification of the recent decrees?
§ Mr. MARJORIBANKSIs the right hon. Gentleman now able to indicate the position with regard to the Bible in Russia, which he promised to look into?
§ Mr. R. A. TAYLORIs it not the case that the churches in Russia are better attended than they are in England?
