Lausanne Conference

Shooting Of Russian Delegates

(by Private Notice) asked the Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he has any information about the reported shooting of three Russian delegates to the Lausanne Conference in their hotel at Lausanne?

The Under-Secretary of State has asked me to say he received notice of this question this morning, and he finds it impossible only to come down to the House and give answers at the very short notice he has received. He has asked me to say he will communicate with the hon. and gallant Gentleman by letter as soon as he possibly can.

Will the hon. and gallant Gentleman represent, as an urgent matter, the effect it is likely to have on public opinion in Russia, and will that be taken into consideration in our negotiations now?

Will it be possible for the Under-Secretary to let the public know as well as the hon. and gallant Gentleman?
