HC Deb 14 June 1900 vol 84 c11
Mr. CHANNING (Northamptonshire, E.)

I beg to ask whether the War Office has taken any steps to call to account those responsible for the fatalities and casualties amongst the troops in the operations near Aldershot on Monday, owing to exposure to the great heat in unsuitable uniforms and headgear, and whether steps will be taken which would prevent such unreasonable exposure in future.

The UNDER SECRETARY OF STATE for WAR (Mr. Wyndham,) Dover

The General Officer commanding, Aldershot, was instructed by telegraph to send a full report on these very regretable incidents. He has despatched the report, and if the hon. Member will repeat his question to-morrow I shall be able to give the House some information.
