HC Deb 07 November 1882 vol 274 c936
MR. HERBERT

asked the Secretary of State for War, Whether there is any truth in the report that has appeared in the papers, to the effect that British officers and men are being allowed to volunteer for service in the Soudan?

MR. CHILDERS

No, Sir; I have telegraphed to Sir Archibald Alison, and he informs me that there is no foundation for the report.
