§ Lord William Scottasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether the Government is still pressing the Russian Government for a settlement of the claims of British creditors, who have credits in Russia amounting to a sum of about £180,000,000; and whether any action can be taken to satisfy the claims of these creditors?
§ Mr. EdenThe possibility of securing complete or partial satisfaction of British claims against the Soviet Government is an object of constant consideration to His Majesty's Government. It is, however, impossible to say when negotiations for this purpose will in fact be practicable.
