Lieut.-Colonel MALONEasked the Secretary of State for War if he will state the number of aeroplanes supplied to General Denikin, K.C.B.; the number of officers and men, late of the Royal Air Force, now serving with his forces; and the date on which it is proposed that this force should return to England?
Captain GUESTThe answer to the first part is that 277 aeroplanes have been sent to the forces serving with General Denikin. In regard to the second part, it is assumed that the hon. and gallant Member desires to know the number of officers and men still on the strength of the Royal Air Force serving with General Denikin's Armies. There are at present 57W 101 Royal Air Force officers and 300 airmen serving with these Armies. The reply to the third part is that these troops, all of whom volunteered for this service, are to be maintained up to the 31st March, 1920, but the actual date of their withdrawal has not yet been settled.
