MR. SWIFT MACNEILL (Donegal, S.)

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War whether Lord Kitchener has requested that he should be supplied with a number of mounted men; and, if so, can he state at what date Lord Kitchener made this request, what number of.' mounted men he specified to be necessary, and what the reply of the Government has been.

THE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR WAR (Mr. BRODRICK,) Surrey, Guildford

I have nothing to add to the reply which I gave the hon. Member on the 27th June.†

MR. SWIFT MACNEILL

These are the reinforcements asked for in April. Has Lord Kitchener asked for any fresh reinforcements?

MR. BRODRICK

I gave the hon. Member full details on 27th June.

MR. SWIFT MACNEILL

Have any fresh transactions occurred?

* MR. SPEAKER

The right hon. Gentleman has said that he has nothing to add to his former reply.

MR. SWIFT MACNEILL

He has not answered the question.

* MR. SPEAKER

Order, order!
