§ Mr. LORT-W1LLIAMSasked the Secretary of State for War whether he is aware that officers and men who joined the Forces in 1914 are still in Siberia; whether he can say when these officers and men will be demobilised; whether there is delay in the delivery of mails; and whether they are still censored?
§ Mr. CHURCHILLI would refer my hon. Friend to the answer given on the 24th February to my Noble and gallant Friend the Member for Aldershot, to the effect that the demobilisation of troops in Siberia is not taking place at present, as active operations are still proceeding in that theatre. I am afraid it is impossible to avoid delay in the delivery of letters to the troops in Siberia, but I can assure my hon. Friend that every effort is made to ensure as rapid and regular delivery as possible. The mails to British Forces in Siberia are not censored.
