HC Deb 26 June 1919 vol 117 c304
4. Colonel WEDGWOOD

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he can give any information as to the arrests and summary executions which took place at Odessa by the anti-Soviet authorities, which led to the refusal of the French troops in Odessa to support these counter-revolutionaries, thus necessitating the evacuation of Odessa?

Mr. HARMSWORTH

His Majesty's Government have no official information supporting the allegations contained in the question.

Colonel WEDGWOOD

Is the hon. Gentleman aware that these statements were made in the French Chamber in a debate last week, and have His Majesty's Government no report of what goes on in that Chamber?

Mr. HARMSWORTH

Oh, yes, Sir; but I said the Government have no official information.

Colonel WEDGWOOD

Will official information be obtained?

Mr. HARMSWORTH

I will endeavour to get it without delay.
