HC Deb 30 October 1918 vol 110 c1433
5. Sir J. D. REES

asked the Secretary of State for India whether he will give the House information regarding the fighting which has taken place in Transcaspia in which Indian forces were engaged?

Mr. MONTAGU

Accounts of the fighting which has recently taken place in Transcaspia have been communicated to the Press and published on 18th and 25th October. I have nothing to add to these communications at present.

Colonel WEDGWOOD

Can my right hon. Friend say why we are fighting in Transcaspia?

Mr. MONTAGU

I do not think my hon. and gallant Friend will expect an answer to such a question now.
