§ MR. R. N. FOWLERasked, Whether it was with the sanction of Her Majesty's Government that Sir Garnet Wolseley attended officially the Mahometan ceremony of the departure of the holy carpet for Mecca; and, if not, whether the course taken on that occasion has been approved by the Government?
§ MR. CHILDERSSir, in reply to the hon. Member, I have to state that the War Office has no information as to the occurrence to which his Question refers, or the reasons for it. After Sir Garnet Wolseley's return at the end of the week, he will, doubtless, explain the circumstances.
