HC Deb 22 March 1900 vol 81 c33
SIR EDWARD SASSOON (Hythe)

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for India whether the Transvaal Refugees' and other War Funds, to which our Indian fellow subjects have subscribed, will be available for the relief of the wives and families of the killed and wounded amongst the Indian camp followers, who have been and are serving with Her Majesty's troops in South Africa; and, if not, whether he would use his good offices to enable this purpose to be achieved.

THE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR INDIA (Lord G. HAMILTON,) Middlesex, Ealing

I have been in communication with the Patriotic Fund Commissioners, and am informed that arrangements are being made for the grant of relief to the wives and families of Indian camp followers incapacitated on account of service in South Africa.
