HC Deb 13 June 1892 vol 5 cc906-7
COLONEL NOLAN (Galway, N.)

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War if the War Department has sold, lent, or given any arms or ammunition to the Imperial British East Africa Company, or if any officer has inspected arms or ammunition for the East Africa Company?

*MR. E. STANHOPE

The Company have been allowed to purchase some rifles and carbines, with ammunition for them; but inspections have not been made on their behalf.

COLONEL NOLAN

I beg to ask the Attorney General if the Charter of the Imperial British East Africa Company confers on them the power of conferring military commissions?

THE ATTORNEY GENERAL (Sir RICHARD WEBSTER,) Isle of Wight

The Charter of the Imperial British East Africa Company does not confer any power of conferring military commissions.
