MR. CHANNING (Northamptonshire, E.)

I beg to ask the Secretary to the Colonies whether the proclamation of Lord Kitchener, issued to-day, was drawn up on any suggestion of Lord Kitchener or after consulting Lord Kitchener.

THE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR THE COLONIES (Mr. J. CHAMBERLAIN, Birmingham, W.)

Of course. Sir, it was drawn up with the full approval of Lord Kitchener.

MR. CHANNING

Was the approval given before?

MR. J. CHAMBERLAIN

Yes, Sir.
