§ MR. WEIR (Ross and Cromarty)I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for War if he will consider the expediency of arranging for the publication of a list of the names of the officers and men recently prisoners of war at Pretoria, indicating those who have rejoined their regiments and those who are in hospital; and can he arrange to publish a list of officers and men still in the hands of the Boers, giving such information as to their probable whereabouts as may be available.
*MR. WYDHAMMost of the names of the officers and men released at Pretoria have been published, and the remainder will be published as soon as they reach the War Office; the further information alluded to by the hon. Member has not been supplied, and would be very difficult to obtain. Lists of some of the officers and men still in the hands of the Boers, and all available information, have been published. Endeavours are being made to secure the names of the rest.
