31. Sir NICHOLAS GRATTAN-DOYLE

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs what is the present position in regard to the settlement of the Russian debts question?

Mr. A. HENDERSON

I would refer the hon. Member to the reply given to the hon. Member for South Kensington (Sir W. Davison) on Tuesday last.

Sir H. GRATTAN-DOYLE

Could the right hon. Gentleman use his persuasive influence in order to facilitate these negotiations and come to a conclusion before the end of the world?

Mr. BECKETT

Has the right hon. Gentleman taken any steps to collect the debts owing to this country by certain American States?
