§ MR. DILLON (Mayo, E.)I beg to ask the First Lord of the Treasury whether he will lay upon the Table of the House a correct copy of the despatch of Lord Roberts remonstrating with Presidents Kruger and Steyn in reference to the abuse of the white flag, and the reply of President Steyn.
§ THE FIRST LORD OF THE TREASURY (Mr. A. J. BALFOUR,) Manchester, E.As far as I know, the reports published in the newspapers were complete and accurate; but in any case the Government have no objection to laying the de- 683 spatches asked for on the Table of the House. I believe they are identical in terms with the despatches as they appeared in the newspapers.
§ MR. DILLONPerhaps the Government will satisfy themselves that they are accurate reports before they are laid.
