§ Sir W. de FRECEasked the Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether any assistance is being given to the poor British subjects who are resident in Russia, lost all in the revolution, and are now in this country in extreme poverty; and whether it is understood that their claims for redress will be put forward in any eventual negotiations for a settlement?
§ Mr. McNEILLNo public funds other than the local rates are, I regret to say, available for the relief of these unfortunate people. As regards the second part of the question, I would refer the hon. Member to the replies I gave to the hon. and gallant Member for South Hackney (Captain Erskine-Bolst) on 30th May, 6th June and 21st June.
