HC Deb 13 June 1918 vol 106 cc2356-7
19. Colonel YATE

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether his attention has been called to the Resolution passed by the Mile End Guardians regarding Russians resident in the East End of London; and whether arrangements will now be made to re patriate all Russians of military age who have not enlisted, together with their wives and families?

Mr. BRACE

I am aware that on the 3rd April the Mile End Guardians addressed a letter to the Prime Minister on the subject of allowances to the dependants of repatriated Russians. As regards the last part of the question, I can only say that the best course in present circumstances is being adopted, namely, Russian subjects of military age are being called up under the Anglo-Russian Military Service Convention for service in Labour Units.
