§ 19 Lieut.-Commander KENWORTHYasked the First Lord of the Admiralty 2055 what steps are being taken to evacuate the refugees and the remnants of General Denikin's army from the Crimea; and to what place these refugees and soldiers are being taken?
§ Sir J. CRAIGAs the Russian Volunteer Army is successfully defending the Crimea against the Soviet Forces attack, no steps are being taken at present.
§ Lieut.-Commander KENWORTHYMay I ask whether the presence of our ships and their action against the Reds were not justified, on the ground of humanity, in order to rescue these people, and, that being the case, why do we not keep the bargain and evacuate, and so prevent further bloodshed?
§ Lieut.-Commander KENWORTHYMay I have an answer to my question? Is it intended to support further offensive operations by General Wrangel's army, or are we still actuated by motives of humanity?
§ Mr. SPEAKERThe hon. Member had better put that question down.
