HC Deb 27 April 1885 vol 297 c819
MR. MONTAGU SCOTT

asked the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, Whether Her Majesty's Government have received any information from Kassala; and, if any measures will be taken to rescue the besieged garrison?

LORD EDMOND FITZMAURICE

Sir Evelyn Baring has reported that the garrisons of Amadib, Senhit, and Galabat have been successfully relieved, but that up to the 22nd instant there was no further news of Kassala. I have already stated that the relief of Kassala does not come within the sphere of the projected military operations.
