HC Deb 27 July 1900 vol 86 cc1502-3
DR. TANNER (Cork County, Mid)

I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for War if Lord Roberts has been asked by the War Office whether civil surgeons employed in South Africa have been required to sign a contract in which they undertook not to divulge in any way their opinions on hospital efficiency or the reverse; and, if so, can he say when did the War Office ask this question of Lord Roberts, and whether by post or telegraph, and when may an answer be expected.

MR. WYNDHAM

As I stated yesterday to the House, Lord Roberts has been asked this question by telegraph, but no reply has as yet been received.

DR. TANNER

When do you expect one?

[No answer was given.]
