HC Deb 31 July 1896 vol 43 cc1262-3
MR. THOMAS BAYLEY (Derbyshire, Chesterfield)

I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for War what action the War Office are 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?

MR. THOMAS BAYLEY

I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for War, if, when he makes his promised statement at the conclusion of the Jameson trial, he will include a statement as to the position of the Officers of Her Majesty's Army who were concerned in the late raid into the Transvaal; or if the Under Secretary of State for War will afterwards make a statement dealing with this subject?

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

I regret I am yet unable to reply to the question of the hon Member. The matter is still under consideration.

MR. BAYLEY

Can the hon. Gentleman say when he will be in a position to reply?

* MR. BRODRICK

I will give the hon. Gentleman notice when I am in a position to answer the question.
