HC Deb 18 December 1919 vol 123 cc647-8
57. Lieut. - Commander KENWORTHY

asked the Prime Minister whether His Majesty's Government intend to demand satisfaction for the damage done to His Majesty's ship "Dragon," the killing of nine of her crew, and the wounding of five others by Colonel Bermondt's artillery; and whether General Denikin has yet disowned Colonel Bermondt?

The PRIME MINISTER

This matter will be considered. General Yudenitch, I understand, repudiated Bermondt prior to this occurrence.

Lieut. - Commander KENWORTHY

May I have an answer to the last part of the question, which has been on the Paper for a week, namely, whether General Denikin has yet disowned Colonel Bermondt; and has anything yet been done to demand satisfaction for the death of our gallant sailors?

The PRIME MINISTER

General Yudenitch, who is acting more or less in concert with General Denikin, repudiated the occurrence.

Lieut.-Commander KENWORTHY

Has anything been done to get satisfaction for the death of our sailors?
