POSITIONS OF BRITISH TROOPS.

HC Deb 15 August 1901 vol 99 cc900-1

MR. DILLON

I beg to ask the Financial Secretary to the War Office whether he will lay upon the Table of the House maps of South Africa coloured to show the districts in effective occupation of the British troops on 1st July, 1900, 1st January, 1901, and 1st July, 1901, respectively.

LORD STANLEY

No, Sir. It is an unvarying rule not to publish, during a campaign, maps which indicate the positions of British troops in the field.
