§ Sir W. BULLasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if he has any information of a pamphlet published in Moscow in the English language and written by Mr. Price, who is now or was formerly a war correspondent acting on behalf of the "Manchester Guardian" newspaper; whether he is aware that this pamphlet contains accusations of bribery and conspiracy against the British Government; whether Mr. Price holds any documents authorising his work as war correspondent which are under the control of the British Government; and whether official facilities will be withdrawn from Mr. Price in respect of journalistic work in Russia, in view of the results likely to ensue from such criticism of British policy by British journalists in that country?
§ Lord R. CECILI have received a report of the pamphlet referred to, and understand it to have been strongly anti-British in tone, and I have not up to the present been able to obtain a copy or any detailed information regarding it. Mr. Price holds no documents from His 341W Majesty's Government authorising his work in Russia or giving him special privileges. It would in any case not be possible to communicate with him at present.
