WANTS OF THE ARMY IN THE CRIMEA.

HC Deb 02 March 1855 vol 137 cc8-9

MR. T. BUNCOMBE

asked the Under Secretary for War whether there was any objection to lay upon the table copies of any letters or despatches that had passed between Lord Raglan and the Minister for War relative to the wants of the army in the Crimea?

MR. PEEL

objected to the production of portions of correspondence between Lord Raglan and the Minister at War relative to the wants of the army in the East. It ought to be left to the Government to determine at what period the correspondence should be produced; and be- sides, the appointment of the Committee would obviate the necessity of its production.

MR. T. DUNCOMBE

Do I understand that the hon. Gentleman objects to produce the correspondence?
