HC Deb 01 March 1900 vol 79 c1416
MR. HARWOOD () Bolton

I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for War if the Brothers Buck, who were accused of being Boer spies and acquitted of that charge, will be restored to their military position.

*MR. J. POWELL WILLIAMS (for Mr. WYNDHAM)

The men in question were not tried. They have been discharged, and have no military position.

MR. MALCOLM () Suffolk, Stowmarket

Has the hon. Gentleman any information confirming the report that these brothers were removed from the Hertfordshire Yeomanry previously?

*MR. J. POWELL-WILLIAMS

I have no information to that effect, but it may be so.
