HC Deb 05 June 1890 vol 345 c68
MR. CUNINGHAME GRAHAM (Lanark, N. W.)

I beg to ask the Attorney General if he has refused to give his fiat to Petitions of Right presented by officers who have been deprived of the advantages promised them by different warrants, and which have been withdrawn by the Secretary of State for War and by the India Office?

THE ATTORNEY GENERAL (Sir R. WEBSTER,) Isle of Wight

I do not understand the question of the hon. Member. Every application for leave to present a Petition of Right is considered upon its merits, and, as far as I am aware, in no case has such leave been refused under the circumstances suggested by the hon. Member.
