HC Deb 04 July 1898 vol 60 c943
MR. DILLON

I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for War whether he can give the House details as to the number and description of the British troops which are to take part in the expedition to Khartoum?

MR. BRODRICK

It is not desirable in the public interest that the precise constitution of the British force should be announced.
