HC Deb 02 December 1919 vol 122 c186
4 and 6. Mr. W. R. SMITH

asked the Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs (1) whether Captain Kristich has formed a regiment of Serbian volunteers to help General Denikin; whether the Serbian Government is financing the expedition;

(2) whether, in addition to a regiment already formed by Captain Kristich, two Serbian regiments will shortly be embarked at Salonika and dispatched to South Russia to help the volunteer army, as is stated in a Reuter message; and whether this country is financing the expedition?

The SECRETARY of STATE for WAR (Mr. Churchill)

I have no information regarding the dispatch of Serbian volunteers to assist General Denikin. The British Government is not financing any such expedition.

Sir S. HOARE

What business is it of ours whether the Serbians enlist or not?

Mr. CHURCHILL

I do not think we have any interest in the matter.
