§ Sir H. CRAIKasked the Secretary of State for War whether the opportunities opened to certain classes for men for release from the Army are suspended so far as the Army in Russia is concerned?
Captain GUESTI would refer my right hon. Friend to the answers given to my Noble and gallant Friends the Members for Aidershot and Horsham and Worthing yesterday, to the effect that the demobilisation of the troops in North Russia and Siberia cannot take place at present, as active operations are still in progress in those theatres.
§ Earl WINTERTONasked the Secretary for War if all ranks in the North Russian Expeditionary Force who come under the classes due for demobilisation will receive the same advantages as those on other fronts?
1595W
§ Mr. CHURCHILLThe demobilisation of the force referred to cannot take place at present as active operations are still proceeding in the theatre in question; if my Noble and gallant Friend is referring to pecuniary advantages, the answer is in the affirmative.
