§ MR. DILLON (Mayo, E.)I beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Colonies when Papers will be circulated giving official account of the recent fighting in Nigeria; and whether such Papers will contain an estimate of the natives killed and wounded and villages burned, and a statement of the objects of the various military expeditions, and the causes to which the resistance of the natives is attributed.
§ MR. J. CHAMBERLAINI have not received the official report of the recent fighting in Northern Nigeria, but I have no doubt that it will contain information on the points referred to, and I do not anticipate that there will be any objection to giving such information to the House.
