HC Deb 18 December 1919 vol 123 cc686-7W
Major BARNES

asked the Prime Minister whether the negotiations for an exchange of prisoners between the hon. Member for East Leeds and M. Litvinoff have failed; and, if so, whether any further effort will be made to relieve the sufferings of British prisoners in Russia?

THE PRIME MINISTER

His Majesty's Government are awaiting the reply of the Soviet Government to the latest proposal put forward by the hon. Member for East Leeds; the second part of the question does not, therefore, arise.
