§ Colonel WEDGWOODasked the Under-Secretary of State for War whether the commander of the Russian forces at Archangel who engineered the attack on Mr. Tchaikovsky's Government was in any degree in British pay; and, if so, what disciplinary action has been taken, and is he still in British pay?
§ Mr. RAMSAY MACDONALDasked the Under-Secretary of State for War if Chaplin, the officer responsible for the overthrow of the Tchaikovsky Government in Archangel, was in the pay of the British Government; whether he left Archangel with a British passport granted by the British representative there; and under what name the passport was issued?
§ Mr. MACPHERSONCaptain Chaplin, the commander of the Russian forces at Archangel, who engineered the attack on Mr. Tchaikowsky's Government, was not at the time or subsequently in British pay. Captain Chaplin has since been relieved of his command by the local Russian authorities, and has been allowed to proceed to the front at his own request. The answer to the second part of the question by my hon. Friend the Member for Leicester is in the negative, and the last part does not, therefore, arise.
