HC Deb 03 May 1900 vol 82 cc577-8
MR. CAMERON CORBETT (Glasgow, Tradeston)

I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for War if he can state whether Colonel Baden-Powell's book on scouting has been supplied to the German army by the German Government; and if any steps are being taken to distribute copies among the British soldiers in Africa.

* MR. WYNDHAM

I have not been as yet able to verify the report that the "book was supplied to the German Army by the German Government. Large numbers of copies were despatched for distribution to the troops in South Africa on the 21st February.
