§ SIR WALTER B. BARTTELOTasked the Secretary of State for War, Whether there is any truth in the report in the papers, to the effect that the 60th Rifles, at Suakin, have insufficient camping-ground and are in want of water, and that that gallant regiment is thereby being reduced to a condition anything but creditable to the authorities?
THE MARQUESS OF HARTINGTONI have not seen the statement referred to by the hon. and gallant Member. But the hon. and gallant Member for Thirsk (Colonel Dawnay) has given me private Notice this evening that he will put a Question to me to-morrow upon the same subject, and I will make inquiries and give all the information we have.
