HC Deb 13 November 1918 vol 110 c2656
14. Mr. KING

asked the Under-Secretary of State for War whether, during the last six months, any Russian officers have been sent to Vladivostock at the expense of the British Government or the Allies; if so sent, whether they are under military orders to take part in any operations against the Soviet Government of Russia; and who are the Russian military authorities from whom Russian officers in this country receive orders?

The UNDER-SECRETARY of STATE for WAR (Mr. Macpherson)

The answer to the first part of the question is in the affirmative. The answer to the second part is in the negative: With regard to the third part of the question, Russian officers in this country receive orders from the Military Attaché at the Russian Embassy.

Mr. KING

Can we have the name of that officer, and what is the Russian Embassy; is there one still in this country?

Mr. MACPHERSON

My hon. Friend must put that question to the Foreign Office.

Mr. KING

What is the name of the officer?

Mr. MACPHERSON

I have no idea.
