§ Sir C. Rawsonasked the Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether, in view of the fact that Mr. Joseph Martin was officially informed that, in March, 170W 1923, the British agent in Moscow made further representations to the Soviet Government requesting compensation in settlement of Mr. Martin's claim for wrongful imprisonment and personal injuries resulting in blindness and other disabilities, and in view of the misunderstanding, he will now publish the full text of the Soviet Government's reply to the further representations made in March, 1923?
§ Mr. ButlerAs my hon. Friend was informed in reply to a Question on 5th June last, the British agent at Moscow, acting on instructions from His Majesty's Government, approached the Commissariat for Foreign Affairs about Mr. Martin's case on the 29th September, 1922. A reply was received in March, 1923, the relevant excerpt from which was given to the House on 5th June last. Mr. Martin was told of this reply on 27th March, 1923, and was at the same time officially informed that it was not the intention of His Majesty's Government to take up his case again with the Soviet Government at that stage.
