HC Deb 17 June 1920 vol 130 cc1472-3W
Major GLYN

asked the Prime Minister whether the shortage of transport, especially locomotives, in Russia will make it difficult to obtain any quantity of sup- plies in exchange for articles exported from this country under arrangements made between the Government and M. Krassin; and what proposals have been made by M. Krassin to overcome this situation, which may stultify the result of all the present negotiations?

The PRIME MINISTER

The great importance of transport as a condition of the re-opening of trade with Russia has not been lost sight of in the negotiations with the Russian Trade Delegation.
