5. Mr. TREVELYAN

asked the Secretary of State for War whether there has been any reduction in the last year in the armies of occupation on the Rhine; and, if so, when the reduction took place and in what it consisted?

The SECRETARY of STATE for WAR (Sir Laming Worthington-Evans)

During the 12 months ending June, 1927, the strengths of the Allied Armies of Occupation have fallen by, approximately, 6,000.

Sir L. WORTHINGTON-EVANS
