§ 9. Captain PETER MACDONALDasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether arrangements have been made for British interests to be watched at the trial now proceeding in the Hall of Nobles, Moscow, of a number of persons charged with conspiring with foreign Powers against the Soviet Government?
§ Mr. THORNEBefore my right hon. Friend answers, will he be good enough to say whether there are any British subjects involved in this alleged conspiracy?
Mr. A. HENDERSONAs I have informed the hon. and gallant Member on a previous occasion, one of the duties of His Majesty's Ambassador at Moscow is to watch British interests, whether in the Courts or elsewhere, and no special instructions to that effect are necessary. I have, however, asked His Majesty's Ambassador to report whether any British interests are involved in the present trial.
§ Mr. MARJORIBANKSWill any legal representative be present?
