§ MR. WEIR (Ross and Cromarty)I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War if he will have some inquiry made by General Sir Archibald Hunter in regard to the death of Private Macaulay, who died shortly after his arrival home at Brager Lewis, his death being attributable to the exposure to which he and other members of the 3rd Seaforth Highlanders were subjected on the passage to Stornoway in McBrayne's steamer from Kyle of Lochalsh.
LORD STANLEYThe proper course in cases of this kind is for inquiries to be addressed through the commanding officer to the general officer commanding the Scottish District. I must ask the hon. Member to take this course.
