§ MR. LEES KNOWLES (Salford, W.)I beg to ask the First Lord of the Treasury if Her Majesty's Government will communicate with Lord Roberts with a view to obtain at once the release from the Boers of such prisoners as those who were wounded at Glencoe and left at Dundee under the Geneva Convention, proposing, if he is unable to obtain the release of all upon conditions, to obtain at least the release of those who are in need of special medical or surgical treatment, upon their giving their word under certain conditions to place themselves again at the disposal of their captors.
§ THE FIRST LORD OF THE TREASURY (Mr. A. J. BALFOUR,.) Manchester, EA communication has been made to Lord Roberts in the sense suggested by my hon. friend.
