§ COLONEL KING-HARMANasked the Secretary of State for War, Whether it is true that the officers and men of the 1st Royal Sussex regiment, quartered at Abu Gees, have been compelled to do fatigue duty in the heat of the sun, and that many cases of sunstroke have occurred in consequence; and, whether such duty was absolutely necessary, or whether it would not have been easily performed in the mornings and evenings?
THE MARQUESS OF HARTINGTONI have received no Report whatever from the Nile in any way confirmatory of the hon. and gallant Member's Question.
§ COLONEL KING-HARMANasked if the noble Lord would make inquiry?
THE MARQUESS OF HARTINGTONIf the hon. and gallant Member will communicate to me the information he has received, I will see whether it is desirable to make inquiry.
