§ MR. BUCHANAN (Aberdeenshire, E.)I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for War what is the amount of the reduced force to be maintained in South Africa after the 30th September for which provision is made in the Estimates.
*MR. J. POWELL-WILLIAMS (for Mr. WYNDHAM)The Estimates were framed on the basis of making full provision for the war charges up to the 30th September, and half provision for the remainder of the year; and not upon a calculation of the precise number of men likely to be present in South Africa after the 30th September.
