HC Deb 24 May 1933 vol 278 cc1081-2
3. Mr. ANSTRUTHER-GRAY

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether representatives of the Union of Socialist Soviet Republics have accepted the invitation to attend the World Economic Conference; and, if so, can he give their names?

Mr. BALDWIN

The Soviet Government have accepted the invitation to attend the Monetary and Economic Conference. The delegation will consist of the following members: Monsieur Litvinoff, Commissar for Foreign Affairs, leader of the delegation; Monsieur Nejlaouk, Vice President of the Gosplan; Monsieur Ozerski, Vice Commissar for Foreign Trade; and Monsieur Maisky, the Soviet Ambassador in London.

31. Mr. BERNAYS

asked the Prime Minister whether negotiations are in progress for a currency truce during the period of the Economic Conference?

Mr. BALDWIN

I think it would be inconvenient to make statements as to any general questions which may from time to time come under informal discussion between Governments in anticipation of the Conference which is about to meet. I may add that I deprecate the use of the term "currency truce" which seems to be open to misrepresentation.
