MR. PATRICK O'BRIENI beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for War, whether any portion of the Royal Artillery has been ordered to Africa; and, if so, whether it is intended for active operations in the Soudan campaign, or for what other purpose?
§ MR. BRODRICKThe only Royal Artillery proceeding to Africa are the drafts required to complete batteries already there. No fresh batteries have been ordered to Egypt or the Cape.
