9. Sir K. WOOD

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs the present position of the work of the committees and sub-committees which are dealing with the question of Russian debts?

13. Mr. SMITHERS

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs on how many occasions sub-committee B of the Russian Debts and Claims Committee has met during the past three weeks; and whether the difficulties which this subcommittee recently reported have now been satisfactorily disposed of?

Mr. A. HENDERSON

I would refer the hon. Members to the reply given yesterday to the hon. Member for South Kensington (Sir W. Davison). Sub-committee B last met on the 5th of May.

Sir K. WOOD

Will the right hon. Gentleman state now the reasons which sub-committee B gave for not being able to proceed with their work?

Mr. HENDERSON

I have not seen any reasons from sub-committee B.
