§ MR. W. FIELDI beg to ask the Secretary of State for War, whether soldiers were employed at cleaning Sandycove Harbour; whether they were engaged at cutting at the boat house or portions of a pier leading to the harbour; and, whether, during the time they were so employed, they wore civilians' dress?
§ *MR. CAMPBELL-BANNERMANBefore I can answer this question I must have some more definite particulars as to the locality and the date on or about which the transaction is supposed to have taken place.
§ MR. FIELDIf I give the right hon. Gentleman the particulars which he wants, will he give me private satisfaction? [Loud laughter.]
§ *MR. CAMPBELL-BANNERMANI hope it has not yet come to that. [Renewed laughter.] If the hon. Member will give the particulars I have indicated, it will enable me to make the necessary inquiries.
