HC Deb 13 August 1896 vol 44 c740
MR. THOMAS BAYLEY (Derbyshire, Chesterfield)

I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for War what action the War Office is taking with regard to the Officers of Her Majesty's Army (other than those who have been tried with Dr. Jameson) who were concerned in the late raid in the Transvaal?

*THE UNDER SECRETARY OF STATE FOR WAR (Mr. BRODRICK,) Surrey, Guildford

The case of these officers is still under consideration, and has been delayed by communications being necessary with certain individuals, the answers to which must be received before a final decision is arrived at.

*SIR C. DILKE (Gloucester, Forest of Dean)

Has the hon. Member not twice stated that he should make a statement before the close of the Session? Will he make it to-morrow?

*MR. BRODRICK

I am afraid it will be impossible to make a statement to-morrow.

*SIR C. DILKE

You stated twice that you would do so. ["Hear, hear."]
