HC Deb 14 December 1900 vol 88 cc821-2
MR. CHANNING (Northamptonshire, E.)

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War whether any of the proclamations issued by Lord Roberts, besides the proclamations of annexation of the two Republics, were drawn up in this country and issued by Lord Roberts on the instructions of the War Office or the Colonial Office; and, if so, which of the proclamations issued as a Parliamentary Paper were drawn up in this country.

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

I cannot answer that question in detail, but I may say that Her Majesty's Government accept full responsibility for all Lord Roberts's proclamations.

MR. CHANNING

asked a supplementary question, which was inaudible in the Gallery.
