HC Deb 28 April 1885 vol 297 cc964-5
MR. WARTON

asked the Secretary of State for War, Whether it is intended to keep the Troops now at Korti there during the Summer; if so, is it known what the degree of heat is there during the Summer; and, if he can form any estimate of the percentage of men who will probably die or be invalided through the heat during the Summer?

THE MARQUESS OF HARTINGTON

There are no troops actually at Korti. It is not intended to keep troops in that neighbourhood during the summer. Under these circumstances, it is not necessary to form the estimate asked for by the hon. and learned Member.
