HC Deb 05 June 1919 vol 116 cc2177-8
2. Lieut.-Commander KENWORTHY

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether the German Cavalry or other German forces under General vonder Goltz are still at Riga; whether they have deposed the anti-Bolshevik peasant's Government at Riga; whether these Germans are acting with Allied consent in advancing beyond their own frontiers; and what is the Allied policy in this matter?

The UNDER-SECRETARY Of STATE for FOREIGN AFFAIRS (Mr. Cecil Harmsworth)

The answer to the first part of the hon. and gallant Member's question is that, according to the latest information received, German troops are still in Riga. No information has been received in regard to the deposition of the anti-Bolshevist peasant Government in Riga, by the German authorities. As regards the third and last parts of the question, I would refer to the reply returned to the hon. Member on the 29th ultimo on this subject.
