QUESTIONS IN THE COMMONS
NEW BATCH
M.P'S. ON RUSSIA, CHINA AND GREAT BRITAIN
MR. HENDERSON'S REPLIES
London, Yesterday.
in the Replying to questions House of Commons, Mr. Arthur Henderson (Secretary for Foreign Affairs) said that the Government had not yet received a reply to the invitation to Russia to appoint a representative to visit Londen.
A Conservative, having asked if this meant that the British Gov- ernment had initiated the nego tiations and that the invitation had been ignored, Mr. Henderson replied:
** surely must wait a certain period to give the Soviet Govern ment an opportunity to decide upon their policy."
