HC Deb 20 February 1900 vol 79 c592
SIR J. W. MACLURE () Lancashire, Stretford

I beg to ask the First Lord of the Treasury whether he will consent to the appointment of a Select Committee to consider and report on the manner in which various departments of the War Office under the present system are now conducted.

MR. A. J. BALFOUR

My hon. friend will probably agree with me that this is not a very fortunate moment to suggest the inquiry he desires.
