HC Deb 22 June 1900 vol 84 cc775-6
SIR HOWARD VINCENT (Sheffield, Central)

I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for War if, when the services of the troops raised by Canada, New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland, South Australia, Western Australia, New Zealand, Tasmania, Ceylon, Cape Colony, and Natal for South Africa can be dispensed with by Lord Roberts, he will endeavour to facilitate the visit to the Mother Country of representatives of those contingents.

*THE UNDER SECRETARY FOR WAR (Mr. WYNDHAM,) Dover

The proposal has been for some time under consideration, and the Secretary of State has consulted Lord Roberts on the subject.
