HC Deb 26 October 1882 vol 274 c166
CAPTAIN AYLMER

asked the Secretary of State for War, If he will lay upon the Table any Reports received from Sir Garnet Wolseley or others on the efficiency, or otherwise, of the Transport and Commissariat arrangements during the Egyptian campaign?

MR. CHILDERS

Sir, in reply to the hon. and gallant Member opposite (Captain Aylmer), I have to state that Sir Garnet Wolseley has not made any general Report on the Commissariat and Transport arrangements of the Egyptian campaign. The only mention of the Department is in a despatch not yet printed, in which certain of its officers are named as having his entire approval as to the way in which they discharged their duties.
