§ MR. YOXALL (Nottingham, W.)I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for War if the casualty list of the 4th Sherwood Foresters Militia Battalion has been received; and, if so, when it will be published.
§ *MR. WYNDHAMSome of the casualties were published on the 12th June and some on the 16th June. A complete list has not yet been forwarded from South Africa, but it will be published as soon as it arrives, in conformity with uniform practice.
§ MR. YOXALLWill the hon. Gentleman, seeing that these casualties took place eleven days ago, wire out for those affecting the rank and file?
§ *MR. WYNDHAMThe only effect of doing so would be probably to cause further delay. These casualties are collected and telegraphed with the utmost possible expedition, and the hon. Member must remember that for four days we could get no information at all from Lord Roberts.
