HC Deb 23 October 1918 vol 110 cc765-6
37. Mr. KING

asked whether the expedition to Baku was ordered by the Imperial General Staff; and whether it had the full and considered approval of the Versailles Allied Council?

Mr. MACPHERSON

The answer to the first part of my hon. Friend's question is in the affirmative. The Supreme War Council is only concerned with matters of general policy. The second part of the question does not therefore arise.
