HC Deb 24 February 1919 vol 112 c1411W
Captain BARNETT

asked the Secretary of State for War whether the city and district of Baku are now occupied by British troops; and, if so, why the certificate of hostile occupation is not cancelled and postal communication between British companies and their representatives on the oil fields rendered legal?

Captain GUEST

My hon. and gallant Friend is under a misapprehension. There is no certificate requiring cancellation in the case of Baku. The city and district of Baku are now occupied by British troops and letters are now being forwarded.
