HC Deb 29 June 1883 vol 280 c1869
MR. ASHMEAD-BARTLETT

asked the Under Secretary of State for India, Whether it is a fact that a convoy of arms and ammunition sent by the Viceroy of India to the Amir of Afghanistan has been captured, after a sharp fight in the Kyber Pass, by the Afridis; and, if so, who composed the escort, and what is the value of the munitions captured?

MR. J. K. CROSS

If the hon. Member will repeat his Question on Monday I hope then to be able to answer him. I may say that if the matter had been considered important by the Government of India, they would, no doubt, have given us full particulars by telegraph.
