§ MR. SWIFT MACNEILLI beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for War whether General Colville has been removed from his command in South Africa; and, if so, upon what grounds.
§ *MR. WYNDHAMNo information has boon received on this subject in the War Office.
§ MR. SWIFT MACNEILLWill the Secretary of State make inquiries, or will it be left to the discretion of Lord Roberts?
§ *MR. WYNDHAMThe hon. Member must have gathered that it is not the policy of the Government to ask Lord Roberts for an explanation of every piece of telegraphic news the meaning of which is not immediately apparent.
§ MR. SWIFT MACNEILLI will put a question to the First Lord on Monday.
