HC Deb 05 August 1842 vol 65 c1076
Mr. D'Israeli

inquired whether the report was true, that the Governor-general of India had ordered the withdrawal of the troops from Affghanistan

Sir R. Peel

said, that the despatches from the Governor-general had been received at the Board of Control not more than an hour ago, and he had not had an opportunity of reading them yet, and was consequently unacquainted with their contents.
