HC Deb 08 December 1919 vol 122 c924W
Sir J D. REES

asked the Secretary of State for War what obligation rests upon the British taxpayer for maintaining a. camp for Armenian refugees at Bakuba?

Mr. CHURCHILL

These refugees were compelled to flee their country, and came under British protection, as the direct result of their participation in operations against the Turks. Their repatriation will be carried out as soon as conditions permit. I understand that the great majority of the able-bodied are employed.
