HC Deb 05 July 1900 vol 85 cc624-5
MR. LABOUCHERE (Northampton)

I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for War whether any information has been received at the War Office of a discussion between the military authorities at Cape Town and the representative of the De Beers Company respecting the Tunning of trains from Cape Town to Kimberley during the period between the taking of Bloemfontein and the advance on Pretoria; and whether any such trains were run; and, if so, whether stores for the De Beers Company were sent to Kimberley by them.

*MR. WYNDHAM

No such information has been received at the War Office.
