HC Deb 11 December 1900 vol 88 c490
MR. TREVELYAN (Yorkshire, W.R., Elland)

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War whether, he is yet able to give any accurate and official information as to the number of farms which have been burnt by our armies for any reason in the Transvaal and Orange River colonies in the course of military operations, and also details as to the reason for their destruction.

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

We have not yet received from Lord Kitchener the details referred to.

MR. TREVELYAN

Does the right hon. Gentleman expect the information before the session is over?

* MR. BRODRICK

I cannot say. Such, details ought to be of great accuracy.
