74. Commander OLIVER LOCKERLAMPSONasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs how many Soviet 523 nationals, other than diplomats, have privileges for trade purposes in this country?
§ The UNDER-SECRETARY of STATE for FOREIGN AFFAIRS (Mr. Eden)No Soviet nationals other than members of the Soviet Embassy are entitled to special privileges in this country.

Commander LOCKER-LAMPSONCan similar opportunities be given to the representatives of the Dominions as those which are given to the Soviet?
§ Mr. EDENThis is a reciprocal arrangement between us and the Soviet and our commercial representatives in Russia are on the same footing as Russian representatives are here.
