HC Deb 03 November 1930 vol 244 cc489-90W
Captain P. MACDONALD

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether the negotiations with the representatives of the Union of Socialist Soviet Republics have progressed to a stage which allows him to make any statement; and, if not, whether he can say when the negotiations are likely to show a practical result?

Mr. A. HENDERSON

I assume that the hon. and gallant Member refers to the negotiations now proceeding for the settlement of claims, debts and counterclaims. These negotiations have not yet reached a stage at which any statement can usefully be made.
