§ Sir N. GRATTAN-DOYLEasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he has, during the past six months, had occasion to make representations to the Government of the Union of Socialist Soviet Republics concerning the treatment of travellers in the Union of Socialist Soviet Republics bearing British passports; whether he has knowledge of such representations having been made by British officials in the Union of Socialist Soviet Republics; and what have been the results of such recommendations?
Mr. A. HENDERSONThe only case that has come to my notice of a British subject experiencing difficulties while 885W travelling in the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics was that of Mr. Christopher Jowett, whose journey through Siberia was interrupted by the local authorities, owing to the loss of his passport. As a result of representations addressed to the Soviet Government by His Majesty's representative in Moscow, he was allowed to proceed on his journey.
