HC Deb 03 July 1900 vol 85 c394
SIR J. COLOMB (Great Yarmouth)

On behalf of the hon. Member for the Ecclesall Division of Sheffield, I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for War whether General Sir A. Gaselee is now on the way from India to China with the Indian contingent; and whether General Gaselee will command the allied forces on land in China.

*THE UNDER SECRETARY OF STATE FOR WAR (Mr. WYNDHAM,) Dover

My answer to the first question is in the affirmative. In regard to the second, I cannot yet say what arrangements will be made as to the command and distribution of the allied forces.
