§ Sir R. CLOUGHasked the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether, as reported in the Russian Press, postal relations have been re established between this country and Russia; whether, if this be the case, any reports have reached his Department to the effect that the receipt of a letter from this country usually entails the arrival of a police inspector to arrest the recipient; and whether he will make inquiry into this allegation in view of its serious con sequences?
Mr. HARMSWORTHThe answer to the first part of the queston is in the affirmative, and to the second in the negative. If the hon. Member will communicate to me evidence that receipt of a letter from this country in Russia is generally followed by the inconveniences referred to, I shall be happy to consider the question of making inquiries.
