§ MR. J. F. X. O'BRIEN (Cork)I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War whether he can state the number of the recent reinforcements sent to South Africa which were recruited on the Continent of Europe; whether the recruiting for the British Army in South Africa is still going on in Germany and Italy; and whether his attention has been called to the statement in the Frankischer Kurier newspaper, of Nuremberg, 14th March, respecting the recruiting by English agents in Germany and Southern Italy for the English Army in South Africa.
§ MR. BRODRICKThe hon. Member drew my attention to an article in the newspaper mentioned. There is no foundation whatever for the statement made.
