HC Deb 05 July 1900 vol 85 c625
MR. SWIFT MACNEILL

I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for War what explanation has the War Office to give for the removal from Netley Hospital of Private Robert Weir, of the 27th Enniskilling Fusiliers, who had served with his regiment all through the Natal campaign, and was sent home in an enfeebled state of body and mind, and of the deportation of this soldier, who is without a pension and has received no gratuity, to the workhouse at Enniskillen, where he is at present a pauper inmate.

MR. WYNDHAM

Investigations are necessary before a question of this nature can be answered. I must request the hon. Member to postpone it.
