HC Deb 13 July 1899 vol 74 c689
MR. DILLON

I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for War whether another battery of Royal Field Artillery has been selected for service in the Cape; and whether this is the fifth battery now under orders for the Cape.

MR. WYNDHAM

Three batteries are under orders to proceed to South Africa, viz., 18th, 62nd, and 75th.

MR. ARNOLD-FORSTER

Arising out of that answer, may I ask whether the hon. Gentleman purposes to answer all questions with regard to the movement of troops, in view of the fact that such questions may possibly be asked in the interests of the enemies of the country?

(No answer was given.)
