HC Deb 27 October 1952 vol 505 c169W
79. Colonel Gomme-Duncan

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether the number of British subjects in the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics who have diplomatic immunity is greater or less, and by how much, than the number of Soviet citizens who have diplomatic immunity in this country.

Mr. Nutting

One hundred and two citizens are at the present time employed at the Soviet Embassy in London in capacities which, in the view of Her Majesty's Government, entitle them to claim diplomatic immunity. The number of persons employed at Her Majesty's Embassy in Moscow to whom diplomatic immunity attaches under Soviet law is 27.
