§ Mr. D. G. SOMERVILLEasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if any limit is placed upon the number of Russian subjects who will be admitted to this country for the operations of the Russian trade delegation; how many are expected; and what steps are being taken to ensure that their activities are solely confined to trade matters?
Mr. A. HENDERSONThe status and numerical strength of the trade mission form one of the subjects now under discussion with the Soviet Ambassador in connection with the regulation of the commercial relations between the two countries. I can make no statement on the details of the present negotiations until they have reached a more advanced stage. No necessity has arisen for any such steps as are suggested in the last part of the question.
