§ 18. Mr. SWANasked the Secretary of State for War whether shipments of munitions are now being made to Riga; for whose use these munitions are intended; and whether the cost falls on the British taxpayer?
§ The SECRETARY of STATE for WAR (Mr. Churchill)A small amount of captured German ammunition represents the only munitions which are being sent to Riga. This ammunition is destined for the Letts, who are struggling to maintain the integrity of their country against reactionary Russian forces subsidised and assisted by reactionary German elements. The expense involved is that of shipping only, which is very small.
