asked the Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether there is at present a British Military Mission in Finland, and, if so, how many British officers and men are attached?

Colonel WEDGWOOD

Can my hon. Friend say who is in charge of this Mission, or is it under the orders of the Admiralty in the Baltic?

Mr. FORSTER

Not that I am aware of?

Mr. HOGGE

Will he say what they are doing?

Mr. FORSTER

Their functions are varied and responsible. If the hon. Member wants detailed information, I shall be glad to give it if I can.
