MR. LLOYD MORGAN (Carmarthenshire, W.)On behalf of the hon. Member for the Gainsborough Division of Lincolnshire, I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for War by whose advice Ladysmith and Dundee were chosen as the 432 best sites for the defence of Natal; and whether these sites were selected with the approval of the military advisers of the Government.
§ * THE UNDER SECRETARY OF STATE FOR WAR (Mr. WYNDHAM,) DoverThe correspondence published by the Colonial Office shows the ground which led the late General Sir W. Penn Symons to decide to occupy Dundee. It is impossible in the limits of an answer to a question to state the events which resulted in Sir G. White's investment in Ladysmith.
