HC Deb 20 February 1900 vol 79 c562
MR. DILLON

I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for War whether convicts in Irish gaols are being offered pardons on condition that they will enlist for service in South Africa.

*MR. WILLIAM JOHNSTON () Belfast, S.

Before the hon. Gentleman answers that question, I would ask him if he thinks he ought to take notice of so scandalous a question.

[No answer was given.]
