BRITISH AND ALLIED TROOPS.

HC Deb 23 July 1919 vol 118 c1333

65. Captain BENN

asked the total number of British and Allied troops, respectively, at present in Russia?

Mr FORSTER

It is very undesirable at the present moment, when the whole question of the Allied policy in Russia is a matter of urgent consideration, to give this information. As has been publicly announced, all British forces except volunteers are either in process of withdrawal or will be evacuated within the next two or three months, according as shipping is available.

Captain BENN

Does that apply to all the theatres of War in Russia?

Mr. FORSTER

I am afraid I cannot answer that without notice.
