SIR HENRY FLETCHERI wish to ask my hon. and gallant Friend the Financial Secretary to the War Department a Question of which I have given him private Notice. The Question is to the effect, Whether the report is correct that the Brigade of Guards which was on its passage from Suakin to England has been ordered to stop at Alexandria; and if the reasons for its detention can be stated?
§ SIR ARTHUR HAYTERYes, Sir. The Brigade of Guards have received orders to stop at Alexandria in case circumstances should render it desirable further to detain them; but they have not received orders to disembark men.
