MR. GORSTasked the Under Secretary of State for the Colonies, Whether his attention has been called to the following statement in the "Standard" on May 28th:—
In a letter from Montsuine to General Wood he says that he has been obliged to take up arms owing to the Boers instigating his enemies to attack him, because he was faithful to the English during the war. He wants to know what measures the Commission intend to take for his protection;and, whether such letter has been received; and, if so, what answer has been sent to Montsuine?
MR. GRANT DUFFSir, we have not heard that any such letter has been received by Sir Evelyn Wood. Of course, if the letter was received by him at the date mentioned by the hon. and learned Member, it would not reach us for some considerable time to come.
