We say that a group G has finite lower central depth (or simply, finite depth) if the lower central series of G stabilises after a finite number of steps.

In [1], we proved that if G is a finitely generated soluble group in which each two generator subgroup has finite depth then G is a finite-by-nilpotent group. Here, in answer to a question of R. Baer, we prove the following stronger version of this result.
