asked the Prime Minister whether his attention has been called to the statement in this morning's Press that His Majesty's Government contemplated handing over to the Soviet Administration in Russia a sum of £10,000,000 now lying in this country to the credit of the former Tsarist Government; and whether, if His Majesty's Government has so decided, the Law Officers of the Crown approve of the legality of the transfer of this amount of pre-War Russian securities to the Bolshevists; and what guarantees are being given by the Bolshevist delegation in relation to Communist propaganda in British Dominions and Dependencies, following upon the receipt of this considerable sum of money?

I must ask the hon. Member to await the full statement on the proceedings of the Anglo-Soviet Conference, which will be made to-morrow.

Will that include a statement about this £10,000,000 of pre-War securities belonging to the Tsarist Government in this country, and as to whether or not His Majesty's Government propose to hand it over to the Bolshevists?

It will be a full statement.
