HC Deb 24 February 1920 vol 125 cc1466-7
4. Lieut. - Commander KENWORTHY

asked the Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs how many British subjects have remained in Odessa and district since its occupation by the Soviet army; how many of these have remained of their own free will; and whether arrangements were made for their evacuation before the arrival of the Soviet army?

Sir H. GREENWOOD

The total number of British subjects who remained in Odessa was 43, and my information is that all stayed of their own free will. The answer to the last part of the question is in the affirmative.
