In the House of Commons, Sir William Joynson-Hicks, Secretary for Home Affairs, said that all but one of the 31 members of the Soviet Mission had left for Russia, and of 53 members of the Soviet trade delegation 41 had gone and six had been given final notice to go. There were also 350 employees of Arc-os Ltd. and other trading organisations, but it was _ the Ministry’s policy to interfere as little as possible with their legitimate business activities. Forty-eight of these had left or were about to leave, and other cases were being individually examinedl as rapidly as possible. Meanwhile any attempt on their part, to engage in political activity would not be tolerated.—A.P.A. and “Sun.”
