HC Deb 19 June 1899 vol 72 c1481
MAJOR RASCH (Essex, S.E.)

I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for War whether the Guernsey Militia threw down their arms and accoutrements, and played football with their helmets when on parade; and whether the War Office proposes to take any notice of such mutinous proceedings.

MR. J. POWELL-WILLIAMS

The Governor has telegraphed that the report is untrue.

MAJOR RASCH

May I ask whether the hon. Gentleman knows that the question is practically taken from a report in The Times of Wednesday last?

*MR. J. POWELL-WILLIAMS

Yes, I think that is very likely; but, nevertheless, it is untrue.

MR. R. G. WEBSTER (St. Pancras, E.)

Is it true that several officers were cheered on parade and others were hissed?

MR. SPEAKER

I think the hon. Member had better give notice of that question.
