§ Sir W. Smilesasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs how many British subjects are employed as Press correspondents in Moscow by United Kingdom Press agencies and newspapers; and whether they enjoy travelling and other facilities equal to those accorded Russian subjects who are employed in London as Press correspondents by Soviet Press agencies.
§ Mr. Ernest DaviesTwo British subjects are at present known to be employed as Press correspondents in Moscow by United Kingdom Press agencies and newspapers. Like all foreigners in the U.S.S.R., their freedom of travel is severely restricted and their reports are subject to official censorship which is liable to be severe. Russian subjects employed in London as Press correspondents by Soviet Press agencies are subject to no similar disabilities.
