HC Deb 23 March 1920 vol 127 c241
50. Mr. LAWSON

asked the Prime Minister whether all forms of assistance to General Denikin will be discontinued after 31st March; and whether an assurance can be given that the British military mission with General Denikin will be withdrawn by that date?

Mr. BONAR LAW

It is obvious that the assistance which can now be given is almost entirely of a humanitarian nature, for example, getting the wounded and helpless away, and such assistance, as far as possible, we propose to give. In present circumstances no exact date can be given for the complete withdrawal of the mission, but orders for the withdrawal of the bulk of the mission have already been given.
