§ MR. SWIFT MACNEILLI beg to ask the First Lord of the Treasury if he can state why the account, which for some time has been in the possession of the War Office, giving the details of the surrender of the 4th Battalion of the Derbyshire Regiment, has been withheld from publication. Will the right hon. Gentleman say that this is covered also by the answer he refers to?
§ MR. A. J. BALFOURNot by that answer, but by another answer I have given. I have given a general reply on the subject of despatches, and that general reply covers particular cases.
