HC Deb 02 June 1892 vol 5 c455
VISCOUNT CURZON (Bucks, Wycombe)

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War whether, in view of the statement in the Pioneer newspaper, as telegraphed to the Times on Monday, 30th May, to the effect that considerable dissatisfaction existed in India at the withholding of Lord Roberts's evidence given to Lord Wantage's Committee, the War Office will take steps to procure it, and lay it upon the Table of the House?

MR. BRODRICK

(who replied): The Secretary of State has presented to Parliament all the evidence which the Committee submitted to him, and he has no knowledge of any which the Committee may have received but have not included in their Minutes of Evidence. The responsibility of submitting evidence lay entirely with the Committee. I understand that a considerable mass of opinion was received from all classes of officers, and that the Committee decided only to publish evidence which had been subjected to cross-examination.
