HC Deb 13 November 1919 vol 121 cc519-20W
Lieut. - Commander KENWORTHY

asked the Secretary of State for War whether the Durham Light Infantry at present stationed at Cologne is under orders to leave for Memel; whether these men are required for operations on territory belonging to the former Russian Empire; if so, whether they are volunteers for this work; and whether soldiers under twenty years of age will be sent on this expedition?

Mr. CHURCHILL

I would refer the hon. and gallant Member to my reply yesterday to an oral question put by the hon. Member for Bolton, in which I explained that units are being sent to the plebiscite areas in accordance with the Peace Treaty, and that these are being furnished from the Rhine Army.
