§ MR. S. LEIGHTONasked the Under Secretary of State for the Colonies, Whether, after the defeat at Langs Nek, the proposals for an armistice or for negotiatiations came from the English or the Boer side?
MR. GRANT DUFFSir, I very much regret that it is entirely out of my power to add anything to what has been said by my right hon. Friend the Prime Minister. He has given every tittle of information which I possess.
§ MR. S. LEIGHTONobserved, that the Question answered by the Prime Minister referred to what had passed after the death of Sir George Colley; while the Question he now asked related to events following the defeat at Laing's Nek.
MR. GRANT DUFFI must make the same answer. The whole story has already been given to the House by the Prime Minister.
