HC Deb 16 July 1919 vol 118 cc368-9
55. Mr. R. RICHARDSON

asked the Prime Minister how soon he will appoint a Committee of Inquiry into the allega- tions concerning the administration in connection with the Expeditionary Forces sent to North Russia, and in particular with regard to the supplies of whisky which were sent out; and whether the Committee of Inquiry will hear evidence from the men themselves and not merely from the officers in charge of the expedition?

Mr. CHURCHILL

My right hon. Friend has asked me to answer this question. 1 am not aware of the allegations suggested in the question, but if the hon. Member will furnish more specific information I shall be happy to have the matter inquired into.
