HC Deb 21 April 1920 vol 128 c376
21. Lieut.-Commander KENWORTHY

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether it is intended to keep a British squadron in the Baltic this year; if so, what its functions will be; and whether it is intended to interfere with merchant ships bound to and from Russia?

Mr. LONG

It is intended to maintain a few vessels in the Baltic for the present, in order to show the Flag and to maintain touch with British missions in plebiscite areas such as Plensburg and Dantzic. The reply to the last part of the question is in the negative.
