HC Deb 05 March 1900 vol 80 c25
MR. PATRICK O'BRIEN

I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for War whether he has any objection to give the names of the hon. Members of this House who are alleged to be at the front, the regiments to which they are attached, and the capacities in which they are serving; and whether any of those hon. Members have been engaged in actual fighting; were any of them wounded or taken prisoners; and, if so, when or where were they in battle.

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

A Return is now being prepared in the terms of the address moved by my hon. friend the Member for the Stratford-on-Avon Division of Warwickshire, which will give the hon. Member most of the information for which he asks. It will not be feasible to include the details referred to in the second paragraph of the question, but the hon. Member may rest assured that wherever the hon. Members referred to are serving, they are doing their duty.

MR. PATRICK O'BRIEN

Will the Return apply to the two hon. Members for Sheffield, who are missing, and whose whereabouts are unknown?
