§ Mr. F. ROBERTSasked the Secretary of State for War whether troops are being transferred from Germany to Poland; if so, can he give the names of the regiiments and number of men so transferred; and whether he can state if such transfer is necessary in view of the fact that the men are due to be demobilised by March next?
§ Mr. CHURCHILLAs I have already stated troops are being sent to Dantzig, Memel, Allenstein, Marienwerder, and Upper Silesia. None of these places is as yet in Poland; and their future will depend on the result of the plebiscite and the decision of the Supreme Council. The total number of British troops which are being sent to these areas is about 15,000 men. The transfer is necessary in order to carry out the terms of the Peace Treaty.
