HC Deb 16 February 1922 vol 150 c1245W
Mr. A. T. DAVIES

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Overseas Trade Department what results have accrued from the establishment of the British Mission under Mr. Hodgson at Moscow?

Sir P. LLOYD-GREAME

The Mission to Moscow has furnished from time to time a series of reports on the developments of the economic policy of the Soviet Government and on economic conditions in Russia, which have been of considerable value to His Majesty's Government, and which have enabled them to supply useful information on such subjects to British firms having interests in Russia. The Mission has also rendered valuable assistance to various representatives of British trade who have had occasion to visit Moscow. The Mission has further been instrumental in getting into contact with and securing the repatriation of a number of British subjects left in Russia.
