HC Deb 24 February 1920 vol 125 c1532W
Lieut. - Commander KENWORTHY

asked the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether there is a British representative in the Republic of North Caucasia; and whether it is intended to recognise this republic or to refer its case to the Council of the League of Nations?

Sir H. GREENWOOD

It is assumed that by the term "Republic of North Caucasia" the province of Dagestan is intended. On this assumption the answer to the first part of the question is in the negative. No decision has been taken as to the future status of the country.
