HC Deb 15 March 1880 vol 251 cc1008-9
SIR CHARLES W. DILKE

asked the Under Secretary of State for India, If General Roberts's Report on the executions at Cabul has been received; and if he can explain the discrepancy between Lord Lytton's statement that only eighty-seven Afghans have been executed, and that of General Roberts that up to 15th December ninety-seven had already been executed by the Com- mission without counting those executed without trial and those executed since 15th December?

MR. E. STANHOPE,

in reply, stated that he could not quite say when the Report referred to by the hon. Baronet would be circulated, but it was put into the hands of the printer on Saturday morning.
