§ Mr. A. T. DAVIESasked the Prime Minister whether any and, if so, what definite progress has been made in the negotiations between British and Russian Soviet delegates who have been in conference in London nearly three months; whether the Government has rendered any assistance in the matter of raising a loan in this country for the Moscow Government; and, if so, what is the nature of that assistance?
§ The PRIME MINISTERI have undertaken to make a full statement to the House when the negotiations have reached a stage which justifies my reporting to Parliament upon them. As regards the question of a loan there is nothing to add to the replies which were given to questions by the hon. Member for Epping on the 18th June and to the hon. Members for Kingston-upon-Hull (Mr. Lumley) and Central Hull (Lieut.-Commander Ken-worthy) on the 25th June.
