HC Deb 27 November 1919 vol 121 cc1876-7
32. Mr. LUNN

asked the Prime Minister if he will consider the immediate withdrawal of the Black Sea Army, which is costing the country £24,000 a day, and the employment of the money formerly spent on the Black Sea Army on building houses or other reconstruction schemes to provide employment and alleviate distress?

The PRIME MINISTER

As what is termed the Black Sea Army includes troops at Constantinople and the Straits, it is not possible to adopt the suggestion in the question till Peace has been made with Turkey.
