HC Deb 17 October 1918 vol 110 c279
61. Mr. BLISS

asked the Prime Minister if he is in a position to give any information as to the safety of the British troops who recently evacuated Baku, and their present position?

Mr. MACPHERSON

My right hon. Friend has asked me to answer this question. As has already been announced in the Press, the British troops who were in Baku were, in spite of considerable losses, successfully withdrawn after having made a heroic resistance to greatly superior forces. It would not be in the public interest to state their present position in more detail.
