HC Deb 23 November 1920 vol 135 c190
4. Mr. R. RICHARDSON

asked the Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether the British Government's refusal to recognise or support General Wrangel was due to the fact that Wrangel was the instrument of the Russo-French Society for the exploitation of South Russia and the Crimea in which no British financial interests were involved?

Mr. HARMSWORTH

The answer is in the negative. As has been repeatedly stated, the decision of His Majesty's Government to give no further support to General Wrangel was made in June last upon his assumption of the offensive outside the Crimea.
