HC Deb 01 February 1900 vol 78 cc260-1
MR. HEDDERWICK

I beg to ask the First Lord of the Treasury whether there will be a full inquiry instituted into the circumstances that led to the deplorable loss of the Highland Brigade at Magersfontein.

MR. A. J. BALFOUR

While military operations are going on there can be no inquiry of the kind suggested by the hon. Gentleman.
