§ MR. BLACKI beg to ask the Secretary of State for War whether he will 1293 now lay upon the Table the written despatch from Lord Kitchener giving his account of his conversation with General Botha upon 28th February last; and whether the Government has received a copy or abstract of General Botha's despatch to his own superiors giving his account of the same interview, or of that commenting upon the subsequent written communication sent him by Lord Kitchener.
§ * MR. BRODRICKWe have received no copy of General Botha's despatch to his superiors, and it is not proposed to lay any further Papers on the subject.
§ MR. BRODRICKI do not think we can lay anything on the Table which has not been laid.
§ MR. BLACKIs there anything in the despatch beyond what was published in the telegraphic communication?
§ MR. BRODRICKAs far as I know, the Papers which have been laid on the Table give all the information.
