HC Deb 28 December 1919 vol 123 c1274W
Lieut.-Commander KENWORTHY

asked the Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he has information to the effect that Colonel Bermondt has recently visited Berlin; what is the object of this visit; and whether it is still the policy of His Majesty's Government to reinforce-General Yudenitch's Army with Colonel Bermondt's troops?

Mr. CHURCHILL

I have been asked to reply. I understand that Colonel Bermondt has visited Berlin since giving up command of the Russo-German forces in the Baltic States; but I am not aware of the object of his visit. The question whether any elements of the forces recently under the control of Colonel Bermondt will be encouraged to join the Russian North-West Army must necessarily depend on the local situation.
