HC Deb 01 February 1900 vol 78 cc266-7
MR. DILLON

I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for War whether a Field Order was issued by Colonel Wynne on the eve of the recent operations on the Tugela; and, if so, whether he will lay the text of that order upon the Table of the House.

* MR. WYNDHAM

The reports on the recent operations on the Tugela have as yet been only telegraphic. Field Orders would only come by post.

MR. DILLON

Will the hon. Gentleman publish the Order as soon as it arrives?

* MR. WYNDHAM

The hon. Gentleman must allow us an opportunity of reading it.
