HC Deb 07 July 1919 vol 117 cc1411-2W
Brigadier-General CROFT

asked the Secretary of State for War whether a large number of young soldiers have volunteered for active service in North Russia and their services have been refused on the ground that there are sufficient volunteers; and, if so, whether he will take steps to recruit such volunteers with a view to the early release of the men in North Russia who are entitled to demobilisation?

Mr. CHURCHILL

The relief and demobilisation of British troops in Russia is proceeding and would not at this stage be accelerated by a further call for volunteers.
