§ MR. WILLIAM REDMONDI beg to ask the Secretary of State for War if he can state approximately the number of troops at present in hospital in South Africa.
§ MR. BRODRICKThe House has been informed on previous occasions that as the numbers vary from day to day, and as we receive no telegraphic information about them, it is not practicable to give the required information. The last Report, dated 8th March, 1901, showed 13,993.
