HC Deb 18 December 1929 vol 233 c1420W
Mr. SMITHERS

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he proposes, immediately after the Ambassadors have presented their credentials, to raise the question of British claims in Russia?

Mr. A. HENDERSON

I have been asked to reply. I would refer the hon. Member to paragraphs 1 and 2 of the Protocol of 3rd October, 1929. From these it will be seen that the question of claims will form the subject of negotiations, which are to take place immediately upon the resumption of full diplomatic relations.
