HC Deb 21 July 1919 vol 118 c932W
Mr. HIGHAM

asked the Secretary of State for War if the general commanding the Murmansk Force has issued a Routine Order that all troops who have served through the winter shall be released by the end of August next; and, if so, will he state the number of our forces there after this order has been put into effect?

Mr. CHURCHILL

The answer to the first part of my hon. Friend's question is in the affirmative. As regards the second part I do not consider that it would be in the public interest to disclose these figures.
